Operations that this extension is valid for include: IAttribute.getValues(IExtension[])
ForceReauthenticationExtension	When this extension is present, it specifies that IContext#open(Object, IExtension[]) requires the context provider to force a re-authentication of the passed authN materials.
SimpleValueSerializer	This class can serialize and deserialize IdAS data types For deserialization the data type must be known

Package org.eclipse.higgins.idas.common Description

This package provides some basic implementations of various IdAS interfaces for use by context providers.

The basic implementations in this package are meant to provide minimal functionality. Concerns such as scalability, thread-safety, and performance were ignored during their creation, thus context provider writers should use caution in their incorporation.
