Author Authentication Service Issue
Rob Sakmyster

2005-06-30, 8:24 pm

I have created and configured EAServer with my own custom
authentication service (authservice prop). When EAServer
starts, for some reason it invokes the authservice and I
always see in my logs, a login failure from IP 0.0.0.0 with
no user specified. Is there any way to prevent EAServer, on
startup, from performing this sanity check (?) on the
authservice?

No. This is relatively new for EAServer (since 5.0, I think). I added
coded to our service to look for this and automatically pass back a success
code; however, I only do it on the very first time the checkSession() method
is called using an boolean static member variable to avoid some hacker
spoofing it later.
