[JBoss-user] DatabaseServerLoginModule, and column RoleGroup

[Bryan Field-Elliot]

We are exploring using JBossSX in various capacities to perform database-driven authentication and authorization.

I have a question about the DatabaseServerLoginModule: The "roles" table requires three columns: Principal, Role, and RoleGroup. However, I can find no clear explanation online for the purpose of the RoleGroup column, and every example I find always has the string value "Roles" inserted into the RoleGroup column.

Is there ever a useful reason why we would put anything in that column, other than the string "Roles"?

Thank you,

Bryan
