When is LoginModulePlugin.getAuthentication called?

Hi

I have written an implementation of LoginModulePlugin. The problem that I
am facing is that whenever my login module plugin gets invoked with an
existing JCR user's credentials, its getAuthentication method is called but
whenever it is invoked with a non-existant JCR user credentials, it never
gets invoked, even though the canHandle method returns true for this
request. Is it necessary for a user with the specified credentials to
already exist in the JCR when authenticating via LoginModulePlugin?

Regards
connuser

Thanks Antonio! That's right. If my getPrinicpal returns a principal,
getAuthentication is invoked and succeeds. I assume that when my
getPrinicpal wasn't returning anything, the principal from jcr was getting
set if available.

correct.

You can see this in  the PluggableDefaultLoginModule class

Hi Connuser,

the reason why your getAuthentication is never called, I assume, is that
the getPrincipal method in your custom LoginModule returns null

Hi Connuser,

the reason why your getAuthentication is never called, I assume, is that the getPrincipal method in your custom LoginModule returns null
