Managing Authentication Plug-in Modules
This section explains how to use the CMS window to do the following:
• Registering an Authentication Module
• Deleting an Authentication Module
For information on adding or changing authentication-specific information in the
configuration file, see “Changing the Configuration by Editing the Configuration
File” on page 349.
Registering an Authentication Module
You can register custom authentication plug-in modules from the CMS window.
Registering a new authentication module involves specifying the name of the
module and the full name of the Java class that implements the authentication
interface. For example, you can add a Java class, named as follows, that
implements an authentication module:
com.netscape.certsrv.authentication.ssnAuth
Before registering an authentication module, be sure to put the Java class for the
module in the
classes
directory. If you need help, check the tutorials installed in
this directory:
<server_root>/cms_sdk/cms_jdk/samples/authentication
To register an authentication module in the CMS authentication framework:
1.
Log in to the CMS window (see “Logging In to the CMS Window” on
page 343).
2.
Select the Configuration tab.
