Log-in facility in WAS4

Hi everyone!
Just one question..
Using the BASIC type of user authentication in WAS4, is it possible to use a database instead of principal's xml file for user authentication in WAS so that getUserPrincipal() method will return a meaningful value?
In tomcat, i know this could be done by setting one of the connectors and just specify the tablename and columnames for user log-on.
I guess this should be possible in WAS4 also. But could anyone guide me on how to do it..
Thanks.

IBM provides customer security interface. You can implement this inferface and put JDBC connection to the database in your implementing class. Check out the document at info center.
