How to write a custom module to setUserPrincipal in Servlet request

harshi001 Apr 10, 2014 7:56 PM

Hi experts,

I have a requirement to set user principals by intercepting the Servlet request. I want to write this in such a way that when deployed web application uses JAAS, the getPricipals method needs to return previously set roles. Is there a way that I can write a Tomcat valve?

How this can be done?

Thanks in advance,

Harshi

JBossAS/WildFly authentication and authorisation is built on top of PicketBox. This contains a selection of JAAS login modules and a framework you can use to implement your own. Have a look at that. You will find a lot of information in the source code too.
