Names are passed as a parameters to the login module.
Type of the user name column should be CHAR or VARCHAR,
Type of the password column should be CHAR or VARCHAR, BINARY or
VARBINARY.

The main idea behind the server JAAS security is to give you
possibility to write your own server login module.
It is not hard, really.
There are so many variants of database representation of role mapping
that writing one LoginModule for all cases with dozens of parameters
doesn't make much sense for me.
The description for it would take as much place as javadoc for
LoginModule :-)
If you feel that you know the best or the most popular database
representation for role mapping, feel free to contribute the
correspondent LoginModule to JBoss.
