Alfresco Authentication Subsystem Devloppement

Question

I need to install an alfresco using a custom authentication service based on xml messages.

I think the best way for this is to use a custom subsystem. But I don't find anny docs on how to dev an alfresco subsystem.

Did someone have something that can help me ?

Answer 1

Alfresco uses the Spring Security Framework. You might be better off developing a custom authenticator that plugs in to that framework versus writing an entirely new sub-system.
