Liferay supports CAS, so if you can get the biometrics stuff in CAS to work you should be fine.

Personally I think it's a gimmick. At the end of the day whatever you're using to collect the biometrics is going to be sending data to CAS and CAS will use that to say "sure, you're good.". It's that "sending data to CAS" though which is the weakness and makes it no better than a password. If you can feed the necessary data to CAS, well then you've hacked your way in.

Biometrics only make sense when it is directly connected to the device/system you're accessing. If there's any open network in the middle, it is just as vulnerable as any other authentication mechanism. It just happens to be more costly and harder to set up and maintain, but just as vulnerable.
