#44 Pluggable Authentification Module

[Markus Elfring]

Your programming interface provides the base class
"http://www.cofax.org/site/docs/api/org/cofax/cms/CofaxToolsLogin.html".
Is
it powerful enough to derive a class that will offer PAM
services?

It
seems that this standard can be integrated with JAAS.
See
document "Making Login Services Independent of
Authentication Technologies"
(http://java.sun.com/security/jaas/doc/pam.html).

I
have not heard about a "LoginModule"
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jaas/JAASRefGuide.html#LoginModule)
for it so far...
