Login established without tomcat notification
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-3923
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3923
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 2.1, 2.0.2
         Environment: Windows, Linux
            Reporter: Ralf Baumhof


I have set up a security realm (sql realm). In web.xml tomcat is advised to 
keep a watch an all pages lying in directory /pages. I use a form login. If the 
 login form is designed to use j_security_check action, the servlet 
authentication works. The first try to access a page in /pages/* area leads to 
the login form and after successful login the page is diplayed. However, the 
application has strong security impacts, so we would prefer to use a JSF 
backing bean which performs a LoginContext method for login to geronimo. This 
also works. The login succeeds and i get a principal. But the application is 
not logged in at tomcat webcontainer. It's not possible to access the pages in 
/pages/* area. Is this a bug or a feature???? What must be done if one want's 
to use the LoginContext way??? According to the geronimo wiki i suggest that it 
should work.
