You could probably implement your own authenticator, possibly just
subclassing the JdbcAuthenticator (see below), then use that
authenticator in resin-web.xml.
I myself wrote a "patch" for a Tomcat only webapp, that contains this
plus dummy implementations of Tomcat classes/interfaces like
org.apache.catalina.Container, Engine, Host, Realm, Server.
Maybe this code suites your needs too:
public class MyJdbcAuthenticator extends JdbcAuthenticator {
public MyJdbcAuthenticator() {
super.setPasswordDigestRealm(null);
}
public String getPasswordDigest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, ServletContext app, String user, String
password) throws ServletException {
return super.getPasswordDigest(request, response, app, null, password);
}
public String getPasswordDigest(String password) throws ServletException {
return super.getPasswordDigest(null, null, null, null, password);
}
}
