[IDP] ExternalAuthentication implementation

[Robert Gründler]

Hi all,

according to the documentation [1], an External authentication mechanism would
result in java code similar to this:


try {
    final String key = ExternalAuthentication.startExternalAuthentication(httpRequest);
    String username = httpRequest.getRemoteUser();
    if (username != null) {
        httpRequest.setAttribute(ExternalAuthentication.PRINCIPAL_NAME_KEY, username);
    }
    ExternalAuthentication.finishExternalAuthentication(key, httpRequest, httpResponse);

} catch (final ExternalAuthenticationException e) {
    throw new ServletException("Error processing external authentication request", e);
}


However, when i call ExternalAuthentication.startExternalAuthentication(httpRequest); the
doStart() of the ExternalAuthentication class throws an not implemented exception.


My question: Are there any examples on how to implement an ExternalAuthentication servlet?


regards


-robert
