Hello,
We have developed a JSP based application based on tomcat 3.2.3. This application requires different level of administration and requires users to login. We would like to develop a custom authentication module for authenticating users against NIS login/password database. I've already developed a C program which checks if a given login/password is correct but it is not clear how to integrate this C program with tomcat. This C program runs as root (setuid !) and takes the login name and password in input using a pipe and returns true or false if the login/password pair is correct or not. We have had a look at extending the SecurityCheck class but it seems that the SecurityCheck class does not exist anymore in tomcat 3.2.3 ? Has a new class superseded the SecurityCheck class and is there some kind of documentation about this new class ? I would be grateful for any information ! Thanks ! Thierry & Mathilde.
