[EO12] Migration Guide: content about migrating authenticator valves

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The Migration Guide has a nice content on migrating custom valves, but the chapter 5.13.2. Migrate Custom Authenticator Valves that speaks about authenticator valves in inadequate.

      I'm thinking about two things:

      • EAP 6 shipped a bunch of custom valves that could be used for authentication. We should have a list of those and for each, provide a link to 7.0 documentation on how an equivalent is achieved in 7.0. We already have one of those, but that isn't all.
      • Also, in EAP 6, customers were able to create completely custom authenticator valves (typically extending AuthenticatorBase or a subclass of that; AuthenticatorBase itself extends ValveBase). I have no idea if this was actually supported and if customers used it. If so, we should have a documentation on creating custom AuthenticationMechanism-s. That wouldn't of course belong to Migration Guide; the Migration Guide would only link to it. But we first have to figure out if it is a real migration concern or not.
