Hi,

When using form based auth the web container will under take the auth using
the j_password & j_username supplied. So it all depends on which container
you are using. Tomcat for example allows you to map to a database containing
user and role info in the web.xml. You also have to specify a login and
error page in the web.xml.

Thanks,
