Yes - that was just an example for how to use only hierarchical LDAP authN,
but as you found you can still use the stackable system as you wish.

Hmmm, weird. It seems to be suggesting that the context is null. Try
replacing the getSpecialGroups method in HierarchicalLDAPAuthentication.java
with:
public int[] getSpecialGroups(Context context, HttpServletRequest
request)
{
// Prevents anonymous users from being added to this group, and the
second check
// ensures they are LDAP users
if ((context != null) &&
(context.getCurrentUser() != null) &&
(!context.getCurrentUser().getNetid().equals("")))
{
if (ldapGroup == null)
{ // Oops - the group isn't there.
log.warn(LogManager.getHeader(context,
"ldap_specialgroup",
"Group defined in ldap.login.specialgroup does not
exist"));
return new int[0];
} else
{
return new int[] { ldapGroup.getID() };
}
}
return new int[0];
}
Thanks,
Stuart
