How to extend Shib IdP to have a new customized DataConnector

[Yaowen Tu]

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the correct mail-list, but I think it might
involve some code change, so I am asking here.

We want to integrate Shib IdP into our product. I know that it already come
with DataConnector for LDAP server and standard Database using JDBC.

In our product, IdP may not have access to the database directly( some
security reason ). We are think if it is possible to extend the
DataConnector or build a customized DataConnector. For example instead of
using JDBC to send some "select" statement, can we send some SOAP message
to a server to do the authentication? Is that possible or easy to extend
from the existing code?


Best,
Yaowen
