Paul, please refer to the reference guide and sample applications. http://acegisecurity.org/docbook/acegi.html#siteminder
Acegi Security does have built in support for SiteMinder if you have a look at using the SiteminderAuthenticationProvider (http://acegisecurity.org/multiproject/acegi-security/apidocs/org/acegisecurity/providers/siteminder/SiteminderAuthenticationProvider.html). The other requirements you've mentioned are pretty standard and are covered in the docs and samples. The best place for support is the Spring Forums. There are only a handful of people watching this list, there are thousands on the forums. http://forum.springframework.org/forumdisplay.php?f=33 On 12/14/06, Garvey, Paul M (GE Comm Fin) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > All: > I am developing a portal with JBoss Portal and I want to use > Siteminder for Authentication. > So, when a user attempts to access the portal if they are not authenticated > Siteminder will intercept > the request and force the use to authenticate.
