Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates specifying a repository containing authentication information to a plugin in a plugable authentication system. When the system receives a command that requires the repository to be accessed, the system populates a data structure with information including a specifier for the repository. The system passes this data structure into a plugin framework. This enables one or more plugins within the framework to access the specified repository.
