Authentication: ezcAuthenticationFilter

[ Tutorial ] [ Rfcs ] [ Security ] [ Class tree ] [ Element index ] [ ChangeLog ] [ Credits ]

Class: ezcAuthenticationFilter

Base class for all authentication filters. [source]
The classes which extend this class must implement the run() method.
This class contains the STATUS_OK constant (with value 0) which is returned by the run() method in case of success. Subclasses must define their own constants to be returned in case of insuccess.
This class adds support for options for subclasses, by providing the protected property $options, and the public methods setOptions() and getOptions().
