The authenticators are meant to be pluggable, so sure - you can write your own authenticator, implementing org.apache.juddi.v3.auth.Authenticator, and then set it in the juddi.auth property.
We'd love a patch though if you could log a JIRA and provide one. On 08/17/2011 11:40 AM, Brenden Rudnick wrote:
I am having a problem using using the LdapSimpleAuthenticator. Whenever I attempt to authenticate with a valid LDAP user, I get an UnknownUserException. I have traced the problem to the isLdapUser boolean in the authenticate() method in LdapSimpleAuthenticator. This boolean is initialized to "false", and subsequently never reset, such that the later if-statement check on isLdapUser always returns false, and an UnknownUserException is always thrown. If I set this boolean to "true" once I successfully create an InitialLdapContext, then my error disappears. My question is, is there some other way to fix this problem other than modifying jUDDI code?
