RE: Why not get my custom Principal using request.getUserprincipal()?

2004-01-28 Thread Robert Nicholls
Hi:
I don't think this is helpful but I have been trying to produce a realm
for authenticating against SAP.   The Tomcat documentation on the
subject notes:
>>>
It is also possible to write your own Realm implementation, and
integrate it with Tomcat 4. However, doing this is beyond the scope of
this document. See (FIXME - reference to developer stuff) for more
information.
>>>
 All of the realms appear to be in org.apache.catalina.realm which is
bundled up in catalina.jar in the server directory of Tomcat 4.x. So
with some trepidation I have broken out the jar and replaced it with a
set of classes in the correct hierarchy in server/classes directory. In
building a new realm it seems that you have to:
A) Build the realm from some template (JDBCRealm is useful) and place it
in realm directory
B) Modify mbeans-descriptors.xml in the mbeans directory
C) Add code to the MBeanFactory class in mbeans to load the new realm

Having said that, I can have a FORM or BASIC access to the realm EXCEPT
that I get null values for the username and credentials. Replacing the
nulls in hard code does produce a credential that performs as advertised
but as yet I haven't found the piece of the puzzle that is providing the
nulls strings.

If there is a better or easier way to produce a new realm I too would be
happy to hear about it.

Regards,

Bob Nicholls

Howdy,

>do you mean the JBoss realm?

No, I mean Tomcat's realm., aka the org.apache.catalina.Realm class.
There's a realm how-to page in the tomcat documentation and you will
also want to look at one of the provided realms as you'll need to extend
them.

Howdy,
Read the Realm documentation to see how to customize your Realm such that it returns 
your custom Principal.
