Doubt regarding FormAuthenticator
I am currently working on SingleSignOn and require some changes to be
done in the FormAuthenticator.java file. Instead of making changes to
the original code, can I plugin my own FormAuthenticator. If yes how can
I do it.
Thanks

When Tomcat finds a Context-level Valve that implements o.a.c.Authenticator
(e.g. extends AuthenticatorBase), it uses that for authentication instead of
it's own internal Authenticator.

In that case, how will the server know that the control should be
directed to my Valve during FormAuthentication and not to the
FormAuthenticator.

You can add a custom Authenticator (Form or otherwise) by adding under the
<Context ...>
<Valve className="com.myfirm.mypackage.MyAuthenticator" ... />
</Context>
Of course, if you do this, Tomcat assumes that you know what you are doing.
If you add a Form Authenticator to a Context that is configured for Basic,
then you are on your own.
