Configuring the IdP for External Authentication System User Authentication

[c m]

Hi,

I need to configuring the IdP for External Authentication System User
Authentication, I tried to follow the instructions at
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPAuthExternal, but
have several questions.

1. Since the externalAuthnPath can only be a url under the same web context,
i.e. idp.war, does it mean that I have to modify the IDP source code to add
a filter/servlet?
do I have other options here?
2. My external auth process is in a different web app, it seems to me the
only way to communicate from the custom filer/servlet to the external auth
process is via web service. Is this the right approach and do I have other
options?

Thanks,

CM
