Hi Dallas,
SecuritySupport is one of the many beans configured through the
config workspace in Magnolia. In this case, the nodes are at /server/
security. Have a look under the userManagers node in there and you'll
see 2 sub nodes in the default configuration, 3 if you added EE's
ldap module. This is where you might want to add your own UM. You
should be aware, however, that Magnolia is already using jaas by
default, so you might just need to re-configure jaas instead.

Not sure if this should be posted to user or dev, but my question is:
How does one create and use a custom UserManager? Basically, we
are trying to use a JAAS-authenticated subject to auto-login to
Magnolia and creating a User object with the correct Magnolia
permissions/roles (by adding them programmatically based on our own
Principals).
Looking at http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-1707 it seems
there is an enhancement to allow custom UserManagers, and to allow
specification of the realm. I guess this happens through
SecuritySupport.addUserManager(String realm, UserManager um), but
there is no documentation on how this gets added (there are no
callers of this method within the codebase). Is it configured
dynamically in the userManagers node?
Is there any documentation on how to use the SecuritySupport and
UserManager classes to support external authentication/
authorization? If not, can someone give a rundown on this?
Thanks,
Dallas Vaughan
