Hi Maria,

if you want to add your own authentication mechanism, you need to write a class similar to
org.lamsfoundation.lams.security.LDAPAuthenticator
found in lams_central.
Once you have this, you need to alter
org.lamsfoundation.lams.security.UniversalLoginModule
to use this authenticator. Either make it configurable or just hardcode it.
I am not sure if there are any caveats, but at first glance this should do the trick.
