Interface DirectoryManager

public interface DirectoryManager

An interface for user and role management. The directory manager is created by the call to SecurityManager.createDirectoryManager(UserDetails).

The directory manager is a standalone component that is used to manage users and roles, outside of the service (server) life-cycle. Management capability is optional if management is done using an external tool. If this is the case, a DirectoryAccessDeniedException should be thrown in response to the SecurityManager.createDirectoryManager(UserDetails) call.
