AuthStart Event

Signifies the start of an authentication process.

Syntax

public class DefaultAuthenticatorEventListener implements AuthenticatorEventListener {
  ...
  public void authStart(AuthenticatorAuthStartEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class AuthenticatorAuthStartEvent {
  public String userID;
  public String authMethods;
}

Remarks

This event is fired in response to a StartAuth call, and signifies the start of a (potentially, multi-step) authentication process for UserID. The AuthMethods parameter list the methods to be performed for the user. The application may customize them as needed.

The following default authentication methods are supported:

• password
• otp-h
• otp-t
• dcauth

The application can define its own authentication methods if needed.

This event is only fired once per user authentication process, at the very start of it. See AuthAttemptStart for per-step notification.
