Authenticator::Crumb - Class for authenticating with a UUID in AURORA.
It follows the same use as the Authenticator-class. See the Authenticator placeholder class for more information.
Class for authenticating with a UUID in AURORA. AURORA supports requesting an UUID upon validation which then can subsequently be used instead of the original credentials, such as AuroraID.
When validation is performed the AURORA REST-server can generate an UUID to be used instead of the original credentials. All Authenticator-classes can be used with this scheme, with the exception of the UUID-class itself - Crumbs.
One asks for such a UUID to be generated by including the parameter "authuuid" and setting to a value that evaluates to true. The REST-server will then upon success return the newly generated UUID in the parameter "authuuid".
This scheme makes it possible for browser-side apps, such as using javascript, to hide the initial credentials used to authenticate by asking for a UUID replacement and then throwing the original credentials.
See the Authenticator placeholder class for more information.
See description in the placeholder Authenticator-class.
