As far as I can see, the default does the following in JBoss/Tomcat integration.
Your client comes in, he has a valid certification. In the certificate is enclosed the client DN (distinguish name). The default authentication mechanism maps this DN to the request.getRemoteUser(). So now during a request, JBoss Portal uses the getRemoteUser() value to fetch the user from the UserModule. So I guess that you must have the certificate DN that is matching the value of getUserName() in the User interface. I have not tried it yet but I'd like to know the outcome of this.
