Hello Sonja and cgriffith, thanks for your replies. yes - its a strange way to do a programmatic login but i didn't found another way... Authenticating via creating a LoginContext is the right way (and i tried it) but I need to propagate the principal through request.getPrincipal(). I need this because I'm using JBoss Portal and it's an elegant way to propagate the principal to portlets which are not in the same .war file. A function like request.setPrincipal would be nice :-) Maybe there is a way overriding the org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.FormAuthenticator class ?
