Maybe you can find these links useful to extend authentication subsystem in such way:
* Outdated method at https://code.google.com/p/dsn-chassis-ext/
* Commercial add-on at https://addons.alfresco.com/addons/alfresco-custom-jdbc-authenticator

Thanks for your help but your info isn't very userful to me.  I don`t want a commercial add-on, y want to develop my own conector. Sorry. I need some help steps for develop a custom authentication conector in alfresco community. I appreciate the help. Regards

You have the basis for your develop at https://code.google.com/p/dsn-chassis-ext/source/browse/trunk/_alfresco/source/java/org/wwarn/cms/au...

I think this is a good point to start your own development.

Thanks for you help.I see the code is for version alfresco  3.4. For version 4.2.f is similar? or there ar many changes (for example in  drupal-authentication-context.xml and in de implementation java class) in the authentication or is similar?

Thanks a lot. Regards

It should work, authentication subsystem has not changed since 3.4. But maybe you find some problem.

Luck!
