Overview

AGAuthenticator manages different AGAuthenticationModule implementations. It is basically a factory that hides the concrete instantiation of a specific AGAuthenticationModule implementation. The class offers simple APIs to add, remove, or get access to a ‘authentication module’.

Creating an Authenticator with an Authentication module

Below is an example that creates an Authenticator that points to the remote AeroGear TODO server application.

// create an authenticator object
AGAuthenticator* authenticator = [AGAuthenticator authenticator];

// the base URL of the application we want to authenticate to
NSString* baseURL = @"http://todo-aerogear.rhcloud.com/todo-server/";

// add a new auth module and the required 'base URL':
id<AGAuthenticationModule> myMod = [authenticator auth:^(id<AGAuthConfig> config) {
    [config setName:@"authMod"];
    [config setBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:baseURL]];
}];
