Question

I have an application with JAAS and i need do an external login from the legacy, so i wrote a servlet with this code bellow, it works fine, but when i do another submit the JAAS tries authenticate again and has failure, and the user is redirected to login page.

here is doPost method:

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
        throws ServletException, IOException {

    NfWebCallbackHandler callbackHandler = new NfWebCallbackHandler(req);

    LoginContext loginContext = null;

    boolean loginSuccess = true;

    try {
        loginContext = new LoginContext("MyLoginContext", callbackHandler);
        loginContext.login();
    } catch (LoginException e) {
        loginSuccess = false;
        RequestDispatcher dispatcher = req
                .getRequestDispatcher("/login.jsf");
        dispatcher.forward(req, resp);
        e.printStackTrace();

    }
    if (loginSuccess) {

        RequestDispatcher dispatcher = req.getRequestDispatcher(req
                .getParameter("targetUrl"));
        dispatcher.forward(req, resp);
    }

}

any idea is welcome! thanks!

I forgot to register my solution for this case, i used this class:

org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.login.WebAuthentication

i wrote something like that:

        WebAuthentication webAuthentication = new WebAuthentication();
        req.getSession().setAttribute("webAuthentication", webAuthentication);

I dont remember where i found this, but was very useful!
