Diff for "SSLWithFormFallbackAuthenticator"

The following code was tested with Tomcat 5.5.17 and 5.5.20. See the page SSLWithFORMFallback for instructions.

You will need the Tomcat JARs from a tomcat installation to compile this class.

/**
 * <p>
 * Authenticator Valve for Tomcat
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This Valve implements a special login method - SSL Certificate based, with FORM fallback.
 * It is intended to be used on an SSL protected channel. The Authenticator first tries to authenticate
 * based on a client certificate included in the SSL Request. If this is not possible, or the request
 * does not contain a client certificate, the Authenticator attempts to authenticate using the
 * FORM login method.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * To use this authenticator, include a &lt;login-config> in your web.xml, but do not include a
 * &lt;auth-method> tag. Do include the &lt;form-login-config> tag to configure the pages used if
 * FORM login occurs.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Instead of the &lt;auth-method> tag, manually configure a Valve in your tomcat configuration 
 * (server.xml or context.xml). Configure the Valve on the corresponding context, and use this 
 * class as the Valve type.
 * </p>
