custom authentication want to skip liferay authentication

[curious Liferay, modificado 14 Anos atrás.]

We have a custom authetication, basically a filter that checks the userName and pwd. It has been configured in our Tomcat as a servlet filter in web.xml, it is working fine. Basically, when someone provides any URL, he is redirected to our custom authenticator login page, gets authenticated and forwarded to the initial URL. Now, I want to skip liferay authentication altogether. Is it possible? Yes/No. If yes, what is the best way to do it. Using AutoLogin OR any other way? thanks!!!!

Yes, it's possible. You'll need to write your own AutoLogin class that retrieves the authenticated user. See the Auto Login section of portal.properties for more information.

Liferay Custom default page landing does not work in below scenario.
I have disabled the liferay authentication by writing a new login hook.
Here i return some valid user credentials array and the portal logs in with this user.
I also want to load a custom landing page to the user once he logs in , so
have implemented a custom LoginPostAction class based on login.post.events property.
This custom page landing works fine if i enable liferay authentication otherwise not.
I am using liferay version 5.1. Will apprecate any help in this regard.

Samuel,
Will you be willing to share your Login Hook source. We are looking to bypass Liferay authentication and do not knwo where to start.
Moreover, if anyonelse has a way to bypass portla login such that we can use credentials to a a custom database - please advise.
