Thanks for the suggestion. It got me a bit farther, but I hit another wall.
In my authenticator's implementation of authenticate(), I can't call
ServerContext.getNexusProxy() as it is protected. I did try:
PartitionNexus nexusProxy = (PartitionNexus)
serverContext.lookup( bindDn );
Attributes attributeList = nexusProxy.lookup( bindDn );
But got a nasty exception:
org.apache.directory.server.core.interceptor.InterceptorException:
Unexpected exception. [Root exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException:
Attempted operation by unauthenticated caller.]
In the middle of the stack trace was an an error pointing at the first line
of these two. I assume it has something to do with how I am casting the
Object returned from the ServerContext.lookup call. Any ideas on the right
way to do this?
Thanks,
Steve
