You can also bypass active authentication following these steps:
1. Login Filter
Configure the WEB-INF/web.xml to use the PortalFilter for logging in
by uncommented the PortalFilter and its mapping:
<filter>
<filter-name>PortalFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.jetspeed.login.filter.PortalFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
...
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>PortalFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
2.Portal Login Portlet
Edit the default-page.psml, changing the login portlet to the
filter-based login portlet as shown below. Make sure to also change
the fragment id. Change:
<fragment id="dp-12" type="portlet" name="j2-admin::LoginPortlet">
...
to ..
<fragment id="dp-12a" type="portlet" name="j2-admin::PortalLoginPortlet">
...
Consider writing your own Portal Filter, and putting your custom code there:
public class MyPortalFilter extends PortalFilter implements Filter
Recommend creating a simple maven jar project with this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.portals.jetspeed-2</groupId>
<artifactId>jetspeed-api</artifactId>
<version>${jetspeed-2.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
and then building a jar to hold MyPortalFilter, and dropping that jar
into the Jetspeed deployment
