Re: [EsiGate-users] credentials

[Nicolas R. <nic...@gm...>]

getAuthenticationHandler is here for compatibility purposes only in esigate 4.0, and will be removed in the future.

Defining an authentication handler adds the handler to the extension list. 

Since you are adding directly your authentication handler to the extension list (this is the right way to do it with esigate 4.0) , getAuthenticationHandler is not updated. However, you should see your extension being registered in logs. (add some logging in the init part just to be sure). 

Be careful, extension configuration *redefines* the extension list. There are some default extensions which will be removed with your configuration. See default value in documentation.
