New and clean JSPWiki with old & dusty proprietary authenticator

Hi everybody,
suppose you have a custom, proprietary, not standard, old & dusty  
authentication engine (it's really so).

Suppose that all users call a standard page to enter into JSPWiki  
(rovenLoginPage.jsp as an example)

After some handshake with the "old & dusty auth. manager", the  
rovenLoginPage.jsp knows everything about the caller (user name, id,  
groups, shoes's number, eye's color, etc..)  but here is the question:
how can it force theese authenticated values into wiki engine (shoes's  
number is not important, really :-) )?

If you want not suppose so much . . . :-) :-)

I need a page who, when called, set "Mickey Mouse" as wiki user and  
assign him to group "mouses".

Thanks again,
Roberto

If there was already a web container authentication available for that old thing, you could also switch JSPWiki to web container authentication.

Hi Roberto,

AFAIK you have to implement a JAAS LoginModule, see org.apache.wiki.auth.login.AbstractLoginModule (see the rest of this package for examples).
Also see doc/aaa-diagram.pdf for a bigger picture.

 Florian
