Interface DelayedResultReceiver

public interface DelayedResultReceiver

Provides an interface that allows delayed authentication results to be passed to the Liberator.

The authentication check calls that come from the Liberator are blocking, so in cases where it may take some time to provide a result (for example when relying on a remote database that may introduce a delay) then this mechanism should be used to prevent impairing server performance.

An instance of DelayedResultReceiver is passed to an Authenticator in its initialise method. This instance is then used to pass back delayed authentication results to the Liberator in the case where the initial return value from an authentication check was AuthenticationResult.DELAYED.
