you mean by not implementing the login protocol.


Ahh sorry,

the browser might send a WWW-Authenticate header ... that would be the http basic auth "protocol" for which there is an AuthenticationHandler.

A web form might POST request properties "username" and "password" acording to a unofficial "form login protocol" handled by a FormAuthenticationHandler.

but both of these will create SimpleCredentials which can be authenticated using a LdapLoginModule against an LDAP.

(did I make sense that time :))
