I don't see why that's true at all. If your system is a password back-end, you don't need to do anything but supply a Java action bean to handle the password validation step. I added something about that the other day to the PasswordAuthnConfiguration topic.

You'd have to learn enough of the system to build a flow action, but it wouldn't require a custom flow.

In the larger sense, if you needed to build a custom login flow, I documented the programming contract on that. [1]
