I was thinking you had to use j_username and j_password for the j_securitycheck login action.... you might could add another variable in those classes called, but at the very least it would be adding it in and overriding authenticate I would think.

I searched the web and a suggestion was to override authenticate() in FormAuthenticator. But I'm wondering how I tell the container to use my version of authenticate()? Are there other ways? This looks like something obvious, but after searching for a couple of hours, I haven't found a clear answer to this issue. Thanks in advance for any guidance, dirk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
