Hi

There kind of is.

Basically to get full, proper, security with JBoss you have to implement it
yourself using the skeleton framework provided.

This isn't as bad as it sounds, honest. On the server it basically means
implementing ServerLoginModule. If you want to use a database then you
implement username/password lookup using that database. If you want to use
LDAP then you implement username/pw look-up using that instead. If you want
to use flat files (as the simple ServerLoginModule I wrote, and I think Oleg
is referring to, does) then you can do that.

In all those cases you would then have to implement your own security admin
tools (although in the case of LDAP you would expect the provider to err
provide them). And in the case of my text file version, use your favourite
text editor.

Hi Oleg,

is there _any_ information on how to do this? I've searched the JBoss site 
(including the mail archive) and didn't find anything about it :-( 

thx
Heiko
