Extra fields in form authentication
Hi. I need two extra fields in my login form, other than j_username and
j_password. The problem is that these extra fields doesn't seem to be
forwarded to the original requested URL. Right now I've implemented my
own Authenticator, which extends
org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator and overrides its
authenticate method, iterating over the request parameters and storing
them on a map in the session.
Is there a simpler and/or nicer way to do what I want?
Thanks in advance.

It can do what you want, but it takes some work. In order to accept
parameters other than j_username and j_password, you basically have to
write your own authenticator, which isn't a big deal. You just implement
a particular interface with a method like
authenticate(HttpServletRequest) and do whatever you want.

This is one of the best reasons to use securityfilter.

Take a look at http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/
I haven't used it, but from the posts I have seen on this list, there
is a good chance it will do what you want. It also has the added
advantage that it will be portable between containers.
