Standalone authorization feature in acegi

[vinayvparthasarathy]

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to use acegi only to access the authorization part of the framework as i already have authentication being carried out by another framework

Yes, and a lot of people do this.

All you need is ensure the SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthenticati on(Authentication) is setup. You'll generally construct an Authentication from whatever your existing authentication system provides.

Hi Ben,

I am facing precisely the same problem where my authentication is done by some other system. I am new to acegi and would really appreciate if you could provide few more implementation details on how exactly to achieve this.

Thanks in anticipation,
Amit

Hi,
same for me
How could you implement the fact that authentication info comes from one system (dedicated AuthenticationProviderA) and authorisations from another (we cannot modify AuthenticationProviderA...).

Like having a second AuthenticationProvider, chained after the 1st one but who fills only the authorities...

Thanks
