[saml-dev] SAML integration with JAAS authnetication

[Yuji Sakata <ysakata@rd.nttdata.co.jp>]

Hi, 
I would like to ask your advice about SAML integration with JAAS.

As you know, 'Authentication Method' attribute is required in 
AuthenticationStatement element in order to specify the type of 
authentication that took place.

When JAAS authentication mechanism is used to authenticate, javax.
security.auth.login.LoginContext.login () method returns just whether 
authentication succeeds or fails totally , but it doesn't tell which 
login module succeeds or not. Therefore, the program using javax.
security.auth.login.LoginContext.login() doesn't specify 'Authentication 
Method'. Of cource,  if all modules I deploy into my LoginContext are 
made by myself, I will be able to solve this problem, but I would like 
to use third-party JAAS login modules or default ones of application 
server.

How do I solve this problem?
Any suggestion are very helpful for me.
