IMHO JAAS does not have anything for this. You have to have own ways to access the data store that the LoginModule uses. It does not have to be own LoginModule. I use "standard" SQL LoginModule, and maintain user with Ejb3 entity beans in my app. If it's LDAP back end, you use LDAP means. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ Sheriff Chameleotoptor sighed with an air of weary sadness, and then turned to Doppelgutt and said 'The Senator must really have been on a bender this time -- he left a party in Cleveland, Ohio, at 11:30 last night, and they found his car this morning in the smokestack of a British aircraft carrier in the Formosa Straits.' -- Grand Panjandrum's Special Award, 1985 Bulwer-Lytton bad fiction contest.
