Hey all,

I have 2 deployables each with there own security domain: a war which uses form 
based authentication and authenticates in the "myWeb" security domain, and an 
ear which authenticates in the "myEjb" security domain. Both are deployed in 
the same JBoss jvm (for testing purposes - for production they will be deployed 
into their own JBoss jvm on different servers). I've configured the war to pass 
the CallerPrincipal when accessing session beans in the ejb by adding the 
ClientLoginModule (see my configuration listings at the end).  The intention is 
to have the web tier do the initial authentication, passing each user's 
credentials from the web tier to the app tier as necessary.

The problem is that when I have 2 users logged in trying to access the session 
beans, either the wrong CallerPrincipal is used in the app tier or I get a 
"FailedLoginException: Password Incorrect/Password Required". Here are my steps 
for reproducing the error:

1. Browser 1  - login as user1. Web reports CallerPrincipal as "user1". App 
reports CallerPrincipal as "user1". Consecutive calls to app tier do not 
produce any errors.
2. Browser 2 (different box) - login as user2. Web reports CallerPrincipal as 
"user2". Most of the time the app reports the CallerPrincipal as "user2" but 
will occationally report "user1". I've noticed that if the "multi-threaded" 
parameter of the ClientLoginModule is set to false, the app will always see the 
CallerPrincipal as the last user to login. Consecutive calls to app tier do not 
produce the FailedLoginException.
3. Browser1 - user1 still logged in - perform action that calls the app tier 
and receive the FailedLoginException.
4. Browser2 - user2 still logged in - perform action that calls the app tier 
and receive the FailedLoginException.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious and important and I'm pretty sure 
this is a common scenerio: using container managed security (ala JAAS) to 
authenticate/authorize users at an enterprise level. Could someone explain to 
me what I'm doing wrong/how to resolve this issue? Is there a different 
approach I should try?

Thanks,

Joe Hindsley
