New release of AuthenticRoast - Moved to Google code

Posted on February 3rd, 2010

Over the last few months a few features and bug-fixes have piled up for AuthenticRoast, so i decided it's finally time for a new release.

The project has also been moved to Google code, and can be found here.

Other than some API-cleanup and bug-fixing the 2 most important changes are:

  • You can now register your authenticator module using a context-param.
  • The same authenticator instance will be used throughout the web-app lifecycle, so make sure it's thread-safe!

Let me know if you are having any problems with this release.

SSL client authenticator

1. I have a base SSL client authenticator which I will contribute to this project once I get it working.

2. I have a question about realms. I just read a comment in the code that tryAuthenticate() should authenticate via an application realm. Is there any way you can make e.g. an existing Tomcat/Glassfish JAAS realm visible to your package? or pass one around from one authenticator to another? I see you have a JAAS callback chain deep in your AuthModule which is essentially what I want to get at - how?

custom authenticator

Can anyone tell me how to create a custom Form Authenticator using AuthenticRoast (sample working source code if possible).
I'm Authenticating user through my glassfish jdbc realm. and it should provide SSO.

Issues

Please check the Google code project for updates to those questions...
