public delegate bool AuthDomainGenericAuthCallback (AuthDomain domain, ServerMessage msg, string username)
The prototype for a AuthDomain generic authentication callback.
The callback should look up the user's password, call [[email protected]_password], and use the return value from that method as its own return value.
In general, for security reasons, it is preferable to use the auth-domain-specific auth callbacks (eg, [ callback@AuthDomainBasicAuthCallback] and [callback@AuthDomainDigestAuthCallback]), because they don't require keeping a cleartext password database. Most users will use the same password for many different sites, meaning if any site with a cleartext password database is compromised, accounts on other servers might be compromised as well. For many of the cases where [class@Server] is used, this is not really relevant, but it may still be worth considering.
