At the moment the standard login tool supports username/password
authentication (which can be routed to an internal store of
credentials and/or an external store such as LDAP) and container based
authentication which is managed by Apache/Tomcat and Sakai just trusts
that it's been done.

It should be possible to enhance the login tool to support mode
authentication methods, although this isn't a simple piece of work.

I think you will need to edit the source code to the login tool.
