Interface ImplicitLoginFilterChain

public interface ImplicitLoginFilterChain

This interface is used to call the next element in the filter chain for the implicit Portal login. A reference is passed to the ImplicitLoginFilter SPI. If an implementation of this SPI calls this method, the corresponding method of the next LoginFilter implementation as defined in the login filter chain (as a property of the Portal Authentication Service) is called. NOTE: This API may only be used in the scope of an HTTP request in WebSphere Portal, i.e. within a theme. The API can not be invoked directly by a custom servlet.

Since:

6.1
