Hi Devs,
Just getting back into Lenya development (have been busy juggling other
tasks for the past couple of months).

I am trying to implement a single sign on solution for our Lenya
implementation.  We are using pub cookie for sso and authentication
takes place at the apache httpd module level.  My thought is that I just
need to set up mod_jk to pass the REMOTE_USER to lenya, and add a
snippet to my sitemap that checks to see if
request.parameter('REMOTE_USER') is set, and if so, send to a usecase
that sets up my RemoteUser with a session.

you don't even need to modify the sitemap.

To evaluate the request header or parameter, you can

- implement a custom Authenticator (see [1]),
- add a patch file for cocoon.xconf (similar to [2])

When your module which contains the patch file declares a dependency
to the ac-impl module, you can use the "remove" attribute to replace
the existing declaration.

HTH,

Am I missing something?  Are there security concerns with passing the
credentials via mod_jk/request param?

Thanks for any input.
