Extending Apache Tomcat's Single Sign On feature with org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn
Hi,
I have been attempting to extend the Single Sign On feature of Apache
Tomcat by extending the org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn
class.
My attempt is to create a Java Maven project extending the above class
which outputs a jar and add the resultant jar file to the
$CATALINA_HOME/lib folder of the Tomcat distribution. Further, in order to
use the implementation, add it as a Valve in the server.xml file.
I am quite new to these technologies and I am not entirely sure whether
this is the correct approach.
Any help or suggestions with regards to this approach and validity of the
steps is highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Chiranga

Hi kidambi,
In my understanding (since I am new to most of these technologies), this
SSO feature is provided as a server side single sign on feature. To be more
descriptive, I am intending to use this as a valve in server.xml of Tomcat
distribution instead of the existing, default SingleSignOn class provided
by Apache Tomcat.

Hi Chiranga,
Are you providing the SSO feature as a server side single Sign on or as a
Servlet that can be used as a Controller in the desired apps to enable
Application SSO?

Madhu
