Class MD5Token

java.lang.Object

org.jgroups.auth.AuthToken

org.jgroups.auth.MD5Token

All Implemented Interfaces:

Streamable

public class MD5Token
extends AuthToken

This is an example of using a preshared token that is encrypted using an MD5/SHA hash for authentication purposes. All members of the group have to have the same string value in the JGroups config.

Configuration parameters for this example are shown below:

• token_hash (required) = MD5(default)/SHA
• auth_value (required) = the string to encrypt
