Let me tell you.....Learning JAAS sucks. But, now that I have spent 2 months learning it, I will tell you... First, read the JavaWorld.com document on JBossSX and JAAS. That is a start. But there are several things that confused the heck out of me. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-2001/jw-0831-jaas.html
If, after reading that document, you have any questions, email me. BTW, Are you going to use the DatabaseServerLoginModule? It is very easy. Also, email me and I will send you the files I have as an example of using DatabaseServerLoginModule -----Original Message----- From: Brian McSweeney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 4:46 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Authentication and Authorisation Newbie Hi all, I'm using JBoss and EJBs and struts as my web app. I've got some resources that are protected and for the moment I've written a Filter which protects them. However this may not be the best way to do this. I'm vaguely aware that J2EE can use JAAS and I can have things like roles and principles and that these can be propogated from the servlets to methods on the session facade and that this is probably the right way to go. However the limited bit of documentation that I've read on this seems very non-standard and confusing. I'd like to know people's experience with this area and any advice if possible. thanks very much, Brian Visit our website at http://www.ubswarburg.com This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
