Hello everybody!

I have got a question concerning sharing a JAAS login over more than one 
thread. I am using JBoss Security together with Flex Livecycle Data Service. 
This dataservice uses a Tomcat Valve to authenticate against the realm. The 
authentication works fine and I can call secured EJBs from within the 
dataservice.

But: This dataservice creates a pool of threads within JBoss. If another thread 
is used not the one where the authentication has been performed in the 
authentication data is lost and I get:
javax.ejb.EJBAccessException: Authorization failure
The difference between the threads is that the SecurityAssocation credential is 
not set in the other threads.

For beeing able to call the EJBs also within the other threads I have tried to 
store the Subject which I receive during the Authentication process within the 
first thread within the Flex Session and use this subject for the EJB call by 
using Subject.doAs(...). But I get the same exception.

How can I use the authenticated Subject to call a secured EJB even if the 
authentication has not been performed within the same thread? I do not want to 
store the users password and call SecurityAssociation.setCredential() in every 
thread. Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance,
Taze
