That did help, thanks.  The entrance hook is just what I was looking for.

Hi Ray,

if you want to customize the authentication behavior and adapt your
template, you're following the right path. However, don't create your
own processElement method. The Authenticated elements has a whole
bunch of hooks:

initializeAuthentication()
entrance(Template template)
unvalidatedCredentials(Template template, Credentials credentials)
validatedCredentials(Credentials credentials)
acceptedCredentials(Credentials credentials)
authenticated(long userId)
refusedCredentials(Template template, Credentials credentials)
sessionCreationError(Template template, Credentials credentials)
sessionNotValid(String childTriggerName, String[] childTriggerValues,
int validityId)

Both refusedCredentials and sessionCreationError have default
implementations that set the appropriate validation errors in the
template, so if you want to preserve this, you need to call the super
method in your own version.

Hope this helps.
