Hi all,

I'm trying to extend the XWikiAuthServiceImpl as described here[1][2] to make use of local SSO.

Here are the steps I'm following but xwiki will not startup.. Do I have somethings out of place in my steps?

1. Place my jar in ${XWIKI_HOME}/WEB-INF/lib jar named org.my.authenticator

2. Edit ${XWIKI_HOME/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg inserting xwiki.authentication.authclass=org.my.authenticator.UserAuth

3. Start xwiki .. this fails!

Can you provide a stacktrace with more details?

Do I have the jar in the correct place?

Yes.

Do I need to tell xwiki to enable the use of this "new" jar?

Jars don't need to be registered, but the authenticator does (which you did, step 2 abouve).

My code does not do anything of importance right now.. It gets a Log object and writes one entry.

Can't help more without a stacktrace...

Does the new jar need to be a registered component?

As indicated on this page http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents

I've even stripped out all of my single .java file to a single checkAuth function.. (which does nothing BTW) still same effect ..

Tomcat won't start.. but, removing my jar tomcat starts right up.

I set up the package using the mvn archetype:generate syntax on the above page.

An authenticator must not be a component, but it has to correctly implement the com.xpn.xwiki.user.api.XWikiAuthService interface. The best way forward is to start by extending com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiAuthServiceImpl without any actual method overrides, then try to put the resulting jar in place. If you get an error, then something is terribly messed up. If not, you can then override checkAuth and incrementally check if so far you get errors or not.
