I'm looking for some information on custom login modules. There seems to be some good info on creating one, but not too much detail about how to actually go about installing one.
from a jackrabbit perspective your custom login module needs to be configured either in repository.xml or in the JAAS configuration file. the repository.xml takes precedence in case both configurations are present.
From what I've gathered so far, my login module needs to be an OSGi bundle. It's not clear where I put it so that it can be found and loaded at runtime.
in order to pack your loginmodule into a bundle you have to add the OSGI information to your jar. there exists for example a maven plugin
for that: maven-bundle-plugin provided by the apache felix project. once you have that you should be able to deploy it like any other bundle. kind regards angela
thanks, Paul
