Well, it sometimes surprises me how many people run it on z/OS :-) You can solve your problem in two ways, using a Tomcat realm (if you run tomcat off course), or using a JAAS login module. I have done both, I would prefer the second one. I can get you the source and binaries if you like, or maybe it's better if I create a page on www.jspwiki.org and document it there and attach the source/binaries.
What the loginmodule does is comparable to JSPWiki's UserDatabaseLoginModule, but instead of looking up the userdatabase.xml it calls IBM's Java for SAF interfaces ( http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/software/java/products/j5security.html) to validate userid/pw, and throw loginexceptions based on the return/reason codes. There's also a simple Helper class that translates the most common codes to human readable messages like "password expired". Let me know if you're interested. regards, Harry 2009/2/10 Carlson, Eric R <[email protected]> > Is there any way to link the JSPWiki user database to an external security > package? > > Specifically, we are running JSPWiki 2.8.1 in Unix System Services under > z/OS 1.9.
