Custom seraph authenticator

[Josef Jelinek]

Hi, im writing a custom seraph authenticator and im stuck on how im going to deploy it to jira, should it be in plugin format? I searched for whole day for answer, but haven t found anything... I tried to simply put my-authenticator.jar in WEB-INF/lib and configure auth class in seraph-config.xml, but the jar probably wasn t loaded (seraph throws ConfigurationException : ClassNotFoundException). So where should I put the custom authenticator jar file? Is there something that I should configure to get it working apart from <authenticator class="xx.xxx.MyAuthenticator"/> in seraph-config.xml? Does it have to be a plugin or something else?

Thanks for the answer...

Hi Joseph,

Were you able to manage working Seraph authenticator? I have an old 5 years back version of Seraph custom authenticator working for 2.7.4. I am trying to upgrade it. I am getting errors for non supported classes

import bucket.container.ContainerManager;

Deprecation of EventManager, addUser, setEmail setFullName, etc

Is com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager replacement for bucket.container.ContainerManager?

does custom authenticator class still needs to be extend ConfluenceGroupJoiningAuthenticator?

Would you be able to send a sample workable authenticator?

thanks,

Abdul.

A jar file in the lib directory should be fine. Although it could go in a plugins1 plugin, but probably not an OSGi plugin (I've never tried it).

If you're getting a CNF exception check the basic things... you have specified the FQ class name correctly, and "jar tf" shows that class in the correct directory etc.
