Using j_security_check with a custom Principal , a custom Ca

[emailmsgbox]

Hear me out, I'll make it short
I need username, password and kuku as parameters in my CallbackHandler and my LoginModule

when I initiate a login using my CallbackHandler MyPrincipal to my facades local or remote
like this

MyLoginHandler login = new MyLoginHandler(new MyPrincipal( username, kuku),password);
loginContext = new LoginContext("my-login",login);
loginContext.login();
...

all is good

but when I try the "full Monty" meaning web and EJB with auth-method FORM (j_security_check) I of course fail ,
since the CallbackHandler that I get in my login module is a with a SimplePrincipal
and this SimplePrincipal is missing the extra parameter

So my problem is to pass the extra parameter to the my LoginModule
how do I get the j_security_check to take the extra paramenter and pass it on . in some way

I looked at the ExtendedFormAuthenticator but I do not see how could did help me.
since I do not use a filter

So be a sport and H-E-L-P

You can try sending the extra parameter "kuku" as part of your Login Form submission and extract it in your login module using:

request = (HttpServletRequest) PolicyContext.getContext(WEB_REQUEST_KEY);
request.getParameter("kuku");


Now, if this "kuku" parameter is Login Module configuration related, you can also use

<module-option name="kuku">kuku-value</module-option>

in your Login Module configuration

Hope this helps
