>
>
> The LoginModulePlugin.getPrincipal method overrides the DefaultLoginModule.getPrincipal method to return a prinicipal for the authenticated user. The drawback when overwriting this is, that the DefaultLoginModule's implementation actually gets a Principal which is based on the Jackrabbit UserManager from the user name encoded in the Credentials object as returned by the getUserID(Credentials) method.
> Since the Form Based Authentication uses a SimpleCredentials the DefaultLoginModule can cope with this and nothing more is needed.
