Tagish: Open Source JAAS Login Modules Collection

Tagish is a collection of open source JAAS login modules.

I have taken over a project to maintain a set of JAAS login modules, formerly known as Tagish. The new project will retain the same license as the original (GNU LGPL) and builds will be provided both binary and source code form. I will soon request project space on a free software facility - probably java.net or SourceForge in order to provide a decent project collaboration and issue tracking platform.

I will keep and enhance all login modules provided by the previous package except for the NTSystemLogin. The reason for temporarily dropping this module is that I don't have access to a windows development machine. If anybody is willing to take over the NTSystemLogin login module please let me know. You can e-mail me at {entzik (at) gmail (dot) com}.
