Hi,
Our client uses its own SSO system, which includes one HTTP Filter in charge of managing session attributes in order to identify the user. As far as I know, Alfresco does not support external authentication based on session attributes.
So, we're thinking about overriding
Is there any better way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

So, we're thinking about overriding
SSOAuthenticationFilter
from Alfresco in order to develop a customized wrapHeaderAuthenticatedRequest
able to extract user identification from one specified attribute of session object. Alfresco Share configuration could be as usual: add external authentication entries in alfresco-global.properties
and modify web.xml
to replace Alfresco SSO filter with the customized one.Is there any better way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

I'm also doing some changes to the authentication chain, and so far it seems that only the main application allows you to extend it with out changing any core. I did not find any way of avoiding the web.xml change in Share
