Hi everyone,

I don't know if there is someone using Tibco Portal Builder with Spring security, or even just Tibco Portal Builder, XD, but I'm goint to ask just in case there is somebody who faced this issue before.

Well, I'm developing on a legacy web application built on top of Tibco Portal Builder. It was configured to authenticate users through web server authentication using user/password login form. It was deployed on a Tomcat 6 server, with the Realm and Security constraint properly configured in server.xml and web.xml. This was working fine, but I was asked to add more security to the login process with a grid card that contains a table divided into several rows an columns. Each table cell contains one code, so to enter the app, the client submits the user/password together with the code that is located on certain coordinates required by the system.

I decided to change the container authentication and use Spring Security, and everything worked fine in my test environment (with just a few pages and without portal builder), until I have tried to integrate it with the development environment with portal builder. Now I can login using Spring Security, but then I have to login again on a popup window that shows so that the portal builder can authenticate the user and take the roles.

Does anyone know if there is a way to integrate the portal builder authentication with spring security? Would it be necessary to develop a custom code for the Tibco Portal Builder authentication?

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Thanks.
