How to pass data from valve to login module?

[herb]

I use AS71.0CR1b

I need some http header data in my login module. - But how can I access http header in login modules?

My current approach is to read http header in a valve, put it in a thread local and access it in my login module.

Is there a better solution??

Can this realized with JAAS callbacks? (I have not found an appropriate one). Which one?

Or can it done in combination with an own callback handler (how can I register an own callbackhandler in AS7?)?

Many questions...

Thanks, herb

Did you find an answer herb?  I need to access the sessionID from my login module.

Thanks, James

found it here: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/WebAuthenticationUsingHTTPRequestParameters

I'm using maven so needed to add the following to my dependencies:

	<dependency>
	<groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.security.jacc</groupId>
	<artifactId>jboss-jacc-api_1.4_spec</artifactId>
	</dependency>

(I've not got a version number in there because I imported the jboss bom which specifies 1.0.0.Final for me)

I found a jacc method to retrieve HttpServletRequest in my login module:

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) javax.security.jacc.PolicyContext.getContext("javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest");
