2.5.2 Configuring the request handler

To configure request handler

1. Open the core.xml file located in the Viewpoint home directory. Locate the <security> element.
2. Use the <request-handler> configuration to define the set of HTTP parameters to be used during authentication, and the callbacks they serve. More information about what callbacks need to be handled by the callbackhandler can be found in the documentation for your login modules.
3. Map each parameter element directly to an HTTP parameter. Set the callback attribute to the class name of the callback, or the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) callback.


In cases where callback names conflict, the fully-qualified class name must be used. In addition, an optional required attribute can be specified. The default value is true.

<parameter callback="ProxyUserCallback">
