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-7.0.0.GA, JBossWeb-7.0.1.GA , JBossWeb-7.0.2.GA, JBossWeb-7.0.9.GA Reporter: Mo Zo Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere 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.
