AuthDomain (Silverpeas Core 6.4 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

Domain
```
public interface AuthDomain
```
An authentication domain of users and groups of users in Silverpeas. Such a domain is actually a directory of users and of groups of users providing its ow authentication server. In Silverpeas, the users and the groups of users can be defined in different directories (LDAP service is a good example of such directories) and each of them has their own authentication server to which the authentication can be delegated by Silverpeas. By reifying this concept, Silverpeas is able to mix in several users sources, both internal and external, to add a new one with less impact, and to take in charge transparently the authentication by delegating it by using a protocol specific to the targeted authentication server.
