So after some investigation I have concluded that the only logical place I can see to inject the desired credentials into my Principal Object is in the doGetAuthenticationInfo() in my realm. Specifically:
new SimpleAuthenticationInfo(username, password.toCharArray(), getName()); Where the username is a String. I have a new method called getUuidForUser(String username) that I'm using to retrieve the user uuid... this is where I come unstuck! I now have two strings; username and uuid and I just can't seem to be able to find a way of adding them to the SimpleAuthenticationInfo! I have tried a String[], hash, list etc. but whenever I have more than just the username the authentication fails. Of course I might be completely on the wrong path here!
