Custom authentication and extending the login.jsp element.

[PARDEE, MARTIN (MARTIN)]

Kevin,

I can appreciate that (from their point of view) that folks are trying to help.  I must be getting the wrong impression somehow.


I started with the user/password example. And I can make that work. 

In order to extend it, I need some changes.  From my point of view, I'm just trying to get to the details of an answer that was previously given:  "replace the login.jsp with one of your own design".

In order to do that, I need to know how login.jsp works. I can only understand the parts I can see. Something else is happening behind the scenes.

If nobody understands what that something is,  why not just say: "I don't know and I don't care"?

Instead,  I seem to get back what looks like deflection, criticism, excuses and evasion.

As I said in the beginning,  I'm probably just misunderstanding. I have a very large and very over-sensitive ego.


I apologize for intruding here.

So far people have been trying to help you.. 

The suggestions seems to be create your own LoginHandler, servlet, UI and all. IE you control what is happening from the moment the SP interacts with your IdP. This is by far easier than trying to obscurly interact with the login.jsp of another LoginHandler.


Use the UsernamePasswordLoginHandler as a guide if you wish. Its pretty easy to follow... Or choose one of the others found in the Contributions page..

Usually reverse engineering a library to figure out how its'  public interfaces work is that last thing I want to do. That's why I came here. I thought there would be someone who could give me some help.  Guess I mis-judged that one. Is there anyone else there that I can talk to?
