Ok, I figured out a solution to this (that is, how to configure your
custom Login Module even if your tomcat is installed to a path with
spaces).
What you can do is put your login.conf file in a jar file that you
install in jetspeed/WEB-INF/lib.
So say you put the file under a package like com.mycompany.security.impl.
Then in security-providers.xml, configure the "location" of your
login.conf to be:
com/mycompany/security/impl/login.conf
The file URL with the absolute path will then get constructed
correctly and your login module will be found.
The URL will actually end up being something like:
file:${CATALINA_HOME}/work/Catalina/localhost/jetspeed/loader/com/mycompany/security/impl/login.conf
Where ${CATALINA_HOME} is the absolute path to your tomcat installation.
