             Summary: Globally configure an Authenticator Valve for the whole JBoss.
                 Key: JBWEB-228
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-228
             Project: JBoss Web
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: JBossWeb-7.0.9.GA, JBossWeb-7.0.2.GA, JBossWeb-7.0.1.GA , JBossWeb-7.0.0.GA
            Reporter: Mo Zo
            Assignee: Remy Maucherat


Please add an option to set and configure an Authenticator (Valve) globally for all applications in a JBoss by using standard JBoss mechanisms like domain.xml, standalone.xml and DMR, so that it would be possible to reference an Authenticator like this:

web.xml
<login-config>
     <auth-method>CUSTOM</auth-method>
</login-config>

To achieve this I had to modify:
...\modules\org\jboss\as\web\main\jbossweb-7.0.X.Final.jar\org\apache\catalina\startup\Authenticators.properties
CUSTOM=<full qualified authenticator class name>
which certainly is not a good way.
