User-written authentication handlers
You can implement authentication handlers that authenticate clients that connect to Diffusion™ Cloud or perform an action that requires authentication.
The authentication handlers can be individual authentication handlers, that perform a single authentication check, or composite authentication handlers, that delegate to one or more individual authentication handlers.
Control authentication handlers
A control authentication handler can be implemented in any language where the Diffusion API includes the AuthenticationControl feature. A control authentication handler can be registered by any client that has the and permissions.
