I tried testing the POP3Authenticator and I also can't get it to work. It
gives me this error when I try to login:
The authentication
driver 'net.sf.basedb.core.authentication.POP3Authenticator' could not be
loaded. The error message is: null
I compiled the POP3Authenticator, put the .jar file in
<basedir>/www/WEB-INF/lib and uncommented the auth.driver line in the default
base.config file.
I think this is the only problem now. I've been able to compile my
LDAPAuthenticator with a different package name (I'm using
just 'authentication' now), but I'm missing something when I try to tell Base
to use an authentication module.
Can you figure out what may be wrong? I'm attaching my latest
LDAPAuthenticator.java

That seems to be the only
