I have some code laying around for extending RealmBase to allow changes to the password-derivation algorithm, but it wouldn't change the public API of the Realm class in a way that wasn't backward-compatible. Changing Realm to include additional information (i.e. the request) would break that API. I can't imagine we'd change that API for Tomcat 7 and it's getting pretty late for Tomcat 8 (8.0.9 was just voted "stable"). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJTqt4/AAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY/eMP/jdZbi9EjpgEbjVwT8Luk8WJ vqKCwwMovOsWadNAxCgusQnteaGqHTTK4a3hIMCzg0BdKWFKIPQ3RkWj6yMrbBEN 9ETJlMCmn6WrnZM60ii6Rbh8A1IHeYL6MyZnWyCsxe1cklMymkpylwSu0oiKAqj5 nbklA/CUorh4vTCwxJ72ELGeN+G4ubHPE6JLj+rFb21ou5QDakHzZtXA7mCHECQk CUQ/lZlnvc7ZolsyAnX6R1XU8u5eB7HGeGVTnm87CMT4KviInBjlPHnJ7bVXgg10 5iUO6eyjTE7lG2ZKxApPDOZ9r4mJ7E2Naj6HuJxRb2ur7/PppQboRXCjW9u0Tw2F 4BAq+P99qeCwblCbMJj0+icZklHK9vLzKp3OthXFQt0pDWgZ2cwnYDpMbscI56nM cXPj2W1DAcv3o6hiEbqTgxZ+IO4W8B68L8XQE6sMJkUYAGVSDLPmFb00bFi4bRYU G2UE+JuoU407U4by5WNJlU7diyQHZ8Ei4p45DbYhQUwsKCG19S05LDaFVnle+Jrk 4hax0tKtcYEqPvO0uohICCiL/Mv8KjQN8E+qdTnGQ4UnajpcxU5QAH4H2n1uy2NA E5Vq5vsT67NCmdHlYm1IsBFzsCIJDcEkmAoBG/iixYRhSvjADEcTQ3cztOpFLH5s dddwVbBWFme2TX+LPRhv =JGaU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
