Hi,
To get the authentication working I have to have a negotiator tag in my cdo-server.xml. I was wondering how I could get
this to work so that the negotiator would use my user manager. I tried the below but it did not work (get npe in net4j
somewhere).

- I extended the ChallengeNegotiatorConfigurer and in this subclass I set my own usermanager in the Negotiator
- in plugin.xml I have this:
<extension point="org.eclipse.net4j.util.elementProcessors">
<elementProcessor class="myGreat.ChallengeProcessor"/>
</extension>
- and in the repository tag I have this:
<userManager type="MyUserManager" description="MyUserManager"/>

my processor gets called and my user manager gets set in the negotiator.

On the client I have this:
IPasswordCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new
PasswordCredentialsProvider(new
PasswordCredentials(uid,pass.toCharArray()));
sessionConfiguration.getAuthenticator().setCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider);

Am I missing something, on the client or server side?

I think that looks not too bad. Have you tried it? I didn't use auth for a while and rely on the test *that* it works.

Sorry, looking again, I'm a little confused. What negotiator are you referring to?

I have a vague feeling that you're messing up Net4j IConnector negotiation (valid for all IChannels of that IConnector) with CDOSession authentication (part of the CDO-specific protocol that is associated with a single IChannel). The latter is newer and usually preferred in CDO. You need no <negotiator> element nested in your <acceptor> element of your cdo-server.xml.

Yes I think that I am confusing things also :-). I have a UserManager extending the RepositoryManager. I have it
correctly defined in the cdo-server.xml and it gets instantiated. What should I do on the client and server to make use
of this UserManager?

Found it :-), the description attribute of the userManager tag in the cdo-server.xml needs to be the same as the
repository name....

<userManager type="MyUserManager" description="repo1"/>

From the perspective of the (generic) IManagedContainer the description attribute distinguishes and identifies container elements that have the same product group and factory type.

From the perspective of the identified container element (or better its IFactory) the description attribute maybe used in an arbitrary way to influence the element creation process.

Yes, because in your case the IUserManager (== product group) is a subclass of RepositoryUserManager (== factory type), which interprets and uses the decsription as the name of the target repository ;-)
