RE: jsp form-based authentication

[Ernie Phelps]

Roland,   Hope you are asking what I think you are. :) If this is about setting up your own user manager and calling it from role manager, keep reading. I am still trying to work out all the kinks on this for myself, but there is a message in the archives by Chris Miller, "Re: custom user management" on Oct 17, 2000 that really got me started on this. He explains what to implement and override, with notes on methods that require special attention. There are a few things missing, be careful to implement shells of all the methods instead of just the ones he lists as needing special attention, but otherwise it is very concise.
