Hi Lucas, DSpace now has a 'pluggable' authentication system where you can write different authentication providers. See the following for examples that come shipped with DSpace:
- http://scm.dspace.org/trac/dspace/browser/dspace/trunk/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate These are then configured, as a list of which ones you want to use, in dspace.cfg: plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \ org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPAuthentication, \ org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication Your best option may be to re-write your filter as a DSpace authentication class. For the xmlui, see the EPerson sitemap for how to reference the authentication class and url: - dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-api/src/main/resources/aspects/EPerson/sitemap.xmap (search for 'shibboleth' or 'LDAP' for an example).
