Nathan: Yes the plan is to use the webservice as the authentication mechanism. We're using SSL so not worrying about encryption at this time. What i want to be able to do it use all the features of appfuse like the security filter etc. but just do the authentication through the webservice.
Mike: The webservice is the authentication method - the client i have sends the username and password that is entered on screen and instead of the authenticationManager using the appfuse way i need to set it depends on the result of the webservice call - you sort of get me?
