> The SWORD Authenticator don't support the special group infrastructure. We 
> have a custom authentication method that retrieve group membership querying 
> an external service (university staff database) but the getSpecialGroups 
> method is not invoked by the SWORD authenticator so we are not able to grant 
> submit permission to university staff "on the fly". A patch is attached, if 
> no objection arise I can commit the patch in the next days.
> Please note that the SWORD Authenticator invoke the getSpecialGroups method 
> supplying a "null" http request so I have patched the out-of-box 
> authentication methods to prevent NPE. The javadoc of the 
> AuthenticationMethod interface already allow the request parameter to be null
