Hi Guido,
Can you please be a little more specific on "inherit the authenticator scheme"? I'm trying to not need to change any code in Tomcat and since the 4.0.1 distribution has a "final" FormAuthenticator class, I think I can only inherit/extend from AuthenticatorBase, which I'm not even sure is a good thing (I'm doing this so that I can use the "register" method to hack in SingleSignOn). And as for the manual, I don't see it anywhere (I'm not referring to creating custom Realms which does have a "howto"). Where can I find such a manual for creating my custom Authenticator? Thanks so much for your help, Dan On Wed, 9 Jan 2002, Guido Medina wrote: > the only you have to do is to inherite the authenticator scheme from Tomcat > and re-write the methods...that's all, in the manual is explained how and > which class you have to extend... > > Guido. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Dan Kha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 4:55 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: TC4.01: custom Authenticator > > > > Hi, > > I'm interested in writing my own Authenticator implementation.
