How to add a custom Authenticator using API

[Benjamin, Roy]

Hi,

I'm starting from the example at: 
http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/43-embedding-apacheds-as-a-web-application.html

I want to run ApacheDS embedded in Tomcat, finally got that working with this 
example.

Now, I need to add a custom authenticator.

Being late on Friday I tried:


List<Interceptor> interceptors = directoryService.getInterceptors();
System.out.println(interceptors == null ? "Yikes!" : interceptors.size());
for (Interceptor interceptor:interceptors) {
        System.out.println(interceptor.getName());
        if (interceptor instanceof AuthenticationInterceptor) {
                Set<Authenticator> authenticators = 
((AuthenticationInterceptor)interceptor).getAuthenticators();
                if (null == authenticators) {
                        authenticators = new HashSet<Authenticator>(0);
                        
((AuthenticationInterceptor)interceptor).setAuthenticators(authenticators);
                } 
                authenticators.add(new MyAuthenticator("MyAuthenticator"));
                System.out.println("authenticators:" + authenticators);
        }
}

I'm sure this is wrong (see below).  Any help greatly appreciate das usual!
