Aaron Mulder commented on GERONIMO-1930:
----------------------------------------
Right now you can't add new login module types to the console dynamically. We
have to manually configure each type of login module that a user should be able
to select/configure in the security realm screen in the console.
It would be better if there was a GBean that represented a login module type,
like we now have for database drivers, etc. That way, if someone develops a
new login module, they can distribute it in a plugin that includes one of the
GBeans described here, and then anyone who installs that can use the console to
create/configure login modules of that type for their security realms.
So the GBean should have properties like the friendly name of this type of
login module, the implementation class name, a list of possible configuration
properties (with type, description, and required flag for each), and so on.
Then the console can build a list of login modules dynamically and build the
screens for whatever the user selects (though perhaps still supporting an
override flag, e.g. the current DB module uses a special screen rather than
dynamically building one).
Then we'd change the console to include GBeans of this type for the standard
login module types (DB, LDAP, properties file, etc.).
