Custom Authentication

[muchimura]

A question , I'm planning to implement a Cuatom Authentication and my question is : Is this feature enable in Open Source Edition?


We are using the ZCS version Open Source.
Acording to
Account Authentication
Custom Authentication - zimbraCustomAuth

1) We Implement a custom handler (java class), MANIFEST file and install the jar file in lib/ext directory.

Java class looks like:

public class ZimbraDatabaseAuthentication extends ZimbraCustomAuth implements ZimbraExtension{
...
@Override
public void authenticate(Account acct, String password,
Map<String, Object> context, List<String> args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("***CUSTOM LOGGER AUTHENTICATION***");
}


@Override
public void init() {
ZimbraCustomAuth.register("sample", new ZimbraDatabaseAuthentication());
}
.....

}

And MANIFEST file
Zimbra-Extension-Class: Zimbra-Extension-Class: test.ZimbraDatabaseAuthentication


2) We run the command
zmprov modifydomain zclarin.lab zimbraAuthMech custom:sample

3) Restart the zimbra server

Now, in administration console appears new custom:sample but when run test button shows an error message in console:
soap:Sender
invalid request: auth mech must be: ldap or ad

When access to zimbra show error :

Custom authentication is supported in Open source versions ?

[vmahajan]

One can surely do custom authentication with zimbra by writing a server extension. Can you eloborate on your use case?
