Jackrabbit always uses JAAS to manage authentication, but nothing stops you from implementing your own Credentials class and looking for those credentials in a custom LoginModule. Alternatively, if you've already authenticated the user by the time you call Repository.login(), you could simply fill in a normal SimpleCredentials instance for the user and use Jackrabbit's SimpleLoginModule that simply accepts any username and password as valid.
