Hi all

I have 2 related questions:

1) Is it possible to configure a custom CallbackHandler with JBoss4.2 AS?

I found a posting stating how to do it for JBoss5: 
http://anil-identity.blogspot.com/2009/05/as51-specifying-custom-call-back.html 

Are any these methods applicable with JBoss4.2?

2) I would like to configure my application for web authentication, using an 
auth-method that does not prompt the user. Is this possible? Which auth-method 
can I use for this? I guess I'm failing to understand what exactly causes the 
container to prompt the user when using e.g. BASIC auth? Can it be controlled 
with the CallbackHandler?

For those interested, my scenario is:
Users are authenticating in a foreign system (of which I basically know 
nothing), and requests (including a simple username parameter) are then sent to 
an application in my jboss. The application in JBoss is configured for web 
authentication, but I do not want the users to be prompted for credentials when 
they are coming from the foreign system. I just want my custom login modules to 
create the necessary prinipals based on the username (from request parameter).
That's why I'm planning on putting a custom callbackhandler in place to provide 
the username without prompting.
And, I also need to figure out with which auth-method to configure my 
applications so that users are NOT prompted.

Thanks
