Overview
IdASRegistry
A class that allows a Context Provider to register its ContextFactory implementations. (See IdAS Context Provider Registry for more info.)
Also allows ContextRefs to be registered. Registered contexts are in some sense pre-configured by one or more Context Factories, so that a user can query its metadata (including schema and policy) without creating an IContext instance.
Responsible for the creation of IContext instances that implement a specific type of Context.
Responsible for associating a ContextRef with the data source (or sources) encapsulated by the designated context.
Implementation of a specific type of Context.
A user must "open" a context, which involves authenticating to the data source, before accessing its data.
Includes methods to search for Digital Subjects using context-specific attributes.
Implementation of a specific type of Digital Subject.
