Hi, Thanks. I followed your instructions and I think I'm getting close, but I'm having another basic Java problem. If I use a package name other than "net.sf.basedb.core.authentication", I get "cannot find symbol" errors. If I "import net.sf.basedb.core.authentication.*", that conflicts with a function from other libraries I'm importing for LDAP. If I compile with the package name "net.sf.basedb.core.authentication", I get this error when I try to login to Base:
"The authentication driver 'LDAPAuthenticator' could not be loaded. The error message is: LDAPAuthenticator (wrong name: net/sf/basedb/core/authentication/LDAPAuthenticator)" - Paulo On Wednesday 13 August 2008 13:17, Nicklas Nordborg wrote: > Paulo Almeida wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Sorry, I sent an e-mail earlier but I realized I couldn't compile the > > Authenticator because I was using a binary release instead of the source. > > Now it compiles, but do I have to compile all of Base to make use of the > > authentication plugin? > > You shouldn't need the BASE source code to compile you class.
