Allow for pluggable authentication providers
--------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1579
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1579
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.6.0-RC1
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Fix For: 1.6.1, 1.7.0-beta1
Make it possible to use different authentication providers by leveraging a plugin mechanism plus some settings in web.xml so that people can choose to use geoserver built in authentication provider, or JAAS one (in the specific, Tomcat's version, since JAAS authorization setup is container dependent, sigh) or whatever other provider the user may fancy to develop as a module.
