Sharepoint: How can I deploy my own authentication provider?

Question

How can I deploy my own authentication provider in MOSS 2007?

Are there any provided functions for this (e.g. Sharepoint function)?

Or do I need to install it in the GAC on each field in the farm manually?

Answer 1

The usual approach for installing extensions like this is to use a function, yes. However, you will not use any specialized XML, as this type of extension is not used explicitly. So how can you do this? Using an almost empty project containing an event collector. The event receiver node is invoked automatically using sharepoint for 4 different events: install, remove, activate and deactivate. I suggest you connect the installation and removal of events to deploy your provider.
