void authenticate(JsonObject authInfo, Handler<AsyncResult<User>> resultHandler)
The first argument is a JSON object containing information for authenticating the user. What this actually contains depends on the specific implementation. In the case of a simple username/password based authentication it is likely to contain a JSON object with the following structure:
{ "username": "tim", "password": "mypassword" }For other types of authentication it contain different information - for example a JWT token or OAuth bearer token.
If the user is successfully authenticated a User
object is passed to the handler in an AsyncResult
.
The user object can then be used for authorisation.
