Hi,
We have DSpace 6.3 (XMLUI) and we currently offer people the ability to login in with Shibboleth or with their DSpace account.  We want to limit logins to Shibboleth users.  I have played around with this, but  it hasn't worked very well..
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can accomplish this?

I would expect that if you exclude
org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication from the values of
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod, password
login would not be offered.

The default configuration is found in 'config/modules/authentication.cfg'.
You can override this in config/local.cfg.

Thanks, Mark:
That's what I did, but when I clicked on login, I got a "Page Not found" message.
But, after you responded, I realized that the problem was that I don't have Shibboleth installed on my dev machine!!!
I would like to chalk that up to cabin-fever, but I think it's old age instead :-)
Thanks, again.
George
