Hi. I'm using JBoss 4.2.1.GA to serve a web application that provides online 
help for another web application.  I won't go into the reasons for separating 
these two applications but that's important to us.  My requirement is that only 
users of the main web application may access the online help web application.

So one option we are exploring is to add functionality to the online help web 
app so that it can detect and validate a token from the main web app for every 
HTTP request.

Before we go too far down that road, I want to understand whether there's JBoss 
functionality that could secure an application in this way.  Googling shows me 
that JBoss, authentication, tokens, and security are often discussed.  Not 
quite enough to guide me to a clear answer, though.

Can anyone point me toward a particular configuration technique or server 
function that might be used in this way?  Or let me know that it's not likely 
to be in JBoss?  The function does not have to be in v4.2.1.GA.  I'll be happy 
to research the details myself.

Thanks for your help.

Peter
