Is it possible to add Login Modules programmatically

[lindsaybraine]

I have been searching for information about how you can add LoginModules programmatically to an running instance of PicketBox, but have found nothing - so have come to the conlusion that it is not possible. Can anyone confirm ?

Just to be clear - I would like to be able to write some code that does the equivalent of something like this :

public void setupLoginModules() {

     <picketbox>.addLoginModule (new DatabaseLoginModule(x,y,z)) ;

     <picketbox>.addLoginModule (new XYZLoginModule(a,b)) ;

}

So, I have no reliance on and external XML configuration file for defining the configuration of the login modules in use ?

Is this possible ?

Thanks in advance.

At the end of the day, we rely on the JAAS Configuration class.

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/security/auth/login/Configuration.html

So you should be able to add in your own login config to this static class.

An example would be:
