GenericHeaderAuthenticate.authenticate doesn't override superclass method
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-7702
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7702
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Security, Web (Tomcat) service
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: Brian Stansberry
             Fix For: JBossAS-6.0.0.M2


In JBossWeb 3, the types of the parameters of the Authenticator.authenticate method have changed. GenericHeaderAuthenticate overrides a superclass, and the change was made in the superclass but not in GenericHeaderAuthenticate. Effect is the method is no longer overridden, it's overloaded. Need to fix that.

This is the cause of the hudson failures in GenericHeaderAuthUnitTestCase (e.g. http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/view/JBoss%20AS/job/JBoss-AS-6.0.x-testSuite-sun16/545/testReport/org.jboss.test.web.security/GenericHeaderAuthUnitTestCase/testGenericHeaderBaseAuth/)
