I've been following the online documentation but I guess I'm not clear on the difference between access control and authentication and where/how it should be applied. As I understand it access control determines the permissions that a user has for certain actions. These access controls are specified in Domain.xml correct?
So how does authentication differ? Reading the Security section of the online docs it simply indicates that to enable authentication one should uncomment the indicated lines in web.xml but doesn't indicate any further JAAS setup is required. I have quite limited experience with this so any help/clarification is much appreciated.
