Custom Authentication Web Service

I want to use authentication web services that is exposed by my legacy client.

You need to implement Liferay's com.liferay.portal.security.auth.Authenticator class to use your own custom authenticator that would call your web services. This can be plugged into Liferay by adding the folliowing to portal-ext.properties: auth.pipeline.pre=[your classpath].

But I cannot copy those user information in to liferay database.

I believe that if you don't want to store your user data in Liferay you can also use auth.pipeline.enable.liferay.check=false in the portal-ext.properties file. Mind you, I'm trying to do the same right now and I'm not having much luck.

Good luck!

The information Ray you gave is correct, as a hint here: http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Developing+a+Custom+Authentication+System is a good step by step tutorial which I do use for a similar approach.
