Class SimpleLoginService

java.lang.Object

      org.jdesktop.swingx.auth.SimpleLoginService

public final class SimpleLoginService
extends LoginService

An implementation of LoginService that simply matches the username/password against a list of known users and their passwords. This is useful for demos or prototypes where a proper login server is not available. This Implementation is NOT secure. DO NOT USE this in a real application To make this implementation more secure, the passwords should be passed in and stored as the result of a one way hash algorithm. That way an attacker cannot simply read the password in memory to crack into the system.
