Hi there,
I'm working on a custom LoginModule for JAAS. I believe I have it all working, the loginmodule is called and completes without errors. But I don't know where the loginmodule should save the users roles... (I got a collection of roles for a certain user, but where do I put these?) I would like to use the isUserInRole from the SessionContext...
I couldn't find much useful information, so I'm turning to you guys.
Anyone who can point me to some docs or help me on my way?
tnx!

J2EE Security For Servlets, EJBs, and Web Services by Pankaj Kumar (Prentice-Hall), p 129 "running code on behalf of a user":

LoginContext maintains information about a user in an instance of javax.security.auth.Subject

Does that help?

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.

You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
