Hi Louis--
The approach that would make the most sense would be to use your
container's SSO cookie. Tomcat can do this, and I suspect JBoss can
also. JSPWiki should be able to pick up the container cookie and
credential and "know" that the user already logged in.
From there, you will need to read the user's profile information. The
JDBCUserDatabase should help you here -- it us quite flexible and
should be able to be configured to match your existing user table.
I'd do this in reverse order first; get the JDBC user database working
first, then move to the SSO cookie.

I have an existing Java app running in JBoss that uses a simple DB

Java app's user id. I have already programmed the Java app to
redirect to
the wiki, but I am at a lost as to where to start with the
authentication.
My initial thoughts were to create a custom JSP which calls a custom
class which "fakes" the login and sets up the security info for the
wiki.
However, after reading several of the JAAS and security docs, I think
there may be an easier way to do this.
In summary, I want my wiki to authenticate using my existing app's
user
table.
Thanks,
