  org.apache.jena.atlas.web.auth.AbstractCredentialsAuthenticator
      org.apache.jena.atlas.web.auth.AbstractScopedAuthenticator<T>

public abstract class AbstractScopedAuthenticator<T>
extends AbstractCredentialsAuthenticator

An abstract helper for authenticators which scope credentials to URIs

Credentials Scope

Note that credentials are not necessarily considered to be exclusively scoped to the exact URI rather they are scoped to any URI derived from the given URI. For example if you declared credentials for http://example.org they would also apply to http://example.org/some/path/. When determining credentials the longest match applies, so in the previous example you could define different credentials for the two URIs and URIs derived from http://example.org/some/path/ would prefer the credentials for that URI over those for http://example.org

Implementations that wish to follow the above scoping policy should make use of the findCredentials method
