[jboss-as7-dev] SPNEGO authentication fails loading configuration

[Bill Burke]

I have some questions as I'm writing some of my own authentication plugins.

* How do you associate a login-module "code" to a class?

* You state in your wiki "Within JBoss AS7 it is not possible to 
override the authenticators as before".  What do you mean by this.  Do 
you mean being able to plugin your own values that can be used within 
web.xml's auth-method of login-config?  I think this is something that 
needs to be added.
