[JBoss-user] DatabaseServerLoginModule, and column RoleGroup

2003-11-29 Thread 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

For whatever reason you want an alternate named group of roles. JBoss
will never care, but you might.
