Cannot resolve 'ExternalAuthn' to a type definition for element 'LoginHandler'.

[Kaustubh Nagraj]

Oh..thanks a lot. That was my error.

I also had another question regarding external authentication

I was not clear about how the external authentication system works. When we
use the ExternalAuthn login handler in the handler.xml, does the
externalAuthnPath refer to the URL to which the IdP gets redirected to?

Or does it go there to find out login information about whether or not user
is already logged in.

I was imagining it to be setup such that the IdP goes to the URL specified
and the servlet at the said URL then can be used to log the user in and
then can set the properties required by the IdP before coming back to the
IdP endpoint.

Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks,
Kaustubh
