ARSList,

Does anyone have any experience writing an implementation of this
class: "com.remedy.arsys.session.Authenticator" ?

I am starting to toy with the idea of trying to integrate ARS Mid-Tier
authentication with http://recaptcha.net/ and before I launch down
that path I would love to hear from anyone who has already been there.
( So that I might avoid any pitfalls that I might not already be
seeing.)

What I think could be done is... (again only supporting the Mid-Tier client...)

Implement a class that checks the recaptcha response, if it is "ok"
then try to auth against ARS as normal.
If that works, then let the user in.

Later if the auth(recaptcha or ARS) fails... maybe a delay interval
could be introduced with very little effort.

Sounds simple... but I suspect the devil is in the details. :(

Does anyone know if the v7.1 Mid-Tier supports this same
implementation? (have we heard about any plans for 7.5 about this
feature?)

Thanks in advance.


Also for the others that have no experience with this stuff.... Would
an open sourced solution with a captcha login page for your Mid-Tier
be of any interest to you? (AKA: Am I the only one in the ARSList
world that thinks this is a reasonable thing to do?)
