I have an existing Java app running in JBoss that uses a simple DB table to do it's authentication. I want to be able to click on a link in the existing Java app and have our wiki popup, already logged in using the Java app's user id. I have already programmed the Java app to redirect to the wiki, but I am at a lost as to where to start with the authentication. My initial thoughts were to create a custom JSP which calls a custom class which "fakes" the login and sets up the security info for the wiki. However, after reading several of the JAAS and security docs, I think there may be an easier way to do this.
In summary, I want my wiki to authenticate using my existing app's user table. Thanks, Lou JSPWiki 2.8.1 Windows JBoss 4 Tomcat 5.5 JDK 1.5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LOG-NET, Inc.
