Aaron Mulder commented on GERONIMO-1930: ---------------------------------------- Right now you can't add new login module types to the console dynamically. We have to manually configure each type of login module that a user should be able to select/configure in the security realm screen in the console. It would be better if there was a GBean that represented a login module type, like we now have for database drivers, etc. That way, if someone develops a new login module, they can distribute it in a plugin that includes one of the GBeans described here, and then anyone who installs that can use the console to create/configure login modules of that type for their security realms. So the GBean should have properties like the friendly name of this type of login module, the implementation class name, a list of possible configuration properties (with type, description, and required flag for each), and so on. Then the console can build a list of login modules dynamically and build the screens for whatever the user selects (though perhaps still supporting an override flag, e.g. the current DB module uses a special screen rather than dynamically building one). Then we'd change the console to include GBeans of this type for the standard login module types (DB, LDAP, properties file, etc.). > Make security realm types into GBeans so they can be added in new/updated > configurations > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-1930 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1930 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: console, security > Affects Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: Aaron Mulder > Fix For: 1.x > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
