Class SmartAuthenticator

java.lang.Object
  com.opensymphony.user.authenticator.AbstractAuthenticator
      com.opensymphony.user.authenticator.SmartAuthenticator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Authenticator, java.io.Serializable

public class SmartAuthenticator

extends AbstractAuthenticator

A 'smart' authenticator that will try to guess which authenticator to use based on what classes are in the classpath.

This is not fool proof but should work well in most cases.

If you write a new Authenticator - please try to update this class.
