id - A unique ID that is used to internally refer to a authentication token implementation.
name - A user readable name that denotes the token type name. This name is used by the UI whenever refering to a specific token implementation.
description - Implementation of the eu.geclipse.core.auth.IAuthenticationTokenDescription interface that is used as an entry point to an authentication token implementation.
wizard - The ID of a wizard that contains specific wizard pages needed to initialize an authentication token.

Examples:


<extension point="eu.geclipse.core.authTokens">
  <token
    description="eu.geclipse.globus.auth.GlobusProxyDescription"
    id="eu.geclipse.globus.auth.proxy"
    name="Globus Proxy"
    wizard="eu.geclipse.globus.ui.wizards.GlobusProxyWizard">
  </token>
</extension>

Supplied Implementation:

The g-Eclipse core does currently not provide any authentication tokens. It is up to the middleware implementation to provide a specific AAI.
