Ignoring JOSSO, All I want to do is have the Portal athenticate againist the 
LDAP server, instead of againist the DB server (PORTALDB), which was configured 
by default.  I am not a Java Programmer, I am a systems intergrator, and in the 
past as I stated previously I have had no issues doing this, but then they 
other app servers provided examples.

I have read and re-read chapter 8 of the Jboss manual and it means little to me 
beyond how to create an "application-policy", but it does not to over how to 
configure JBoss to to actually use the policy.

The file is obviously included by jboss-service.xml, the jboss-service.xml file 
under security sets LoginConfig to call 
"jboss.security:service=XMLLoginConfig".  login-config.xml contains numerous 
application policies, such as other, JBossWS ..., to which I added my own 
creation OpenLDAP.  Once read none of these seem to ever be used again, also 
comparing Portal and non-portal the default login-config.xml files are 
identical, so I do not think the Portal is making any use of this to 
authenticate users.


This again leads to the Portal interface and the User portlet, which 
authentcates againist the DB created by the portal using the tables:
      JBP_ROLES, JBP_ROLE_MEMBERSHIP, JBP_USERS...  Now then I want to change 
the login to point to OpenLDAP instead of these tables, that it, nothing 
difficult or exciting, I just want to change the authenitcation mech. to use 
LDAP, simple right, something that can be found in the documentation correct, 
well call me stupid, but having wasted 3 days on this I've gotten nowhere and 
do not see a solution any place on the web.  In fact I can only find a few 
topics on it in these forums and none with a valid sultion.

Sorry to post yet again, but I have to believe that this has been done before 
and is documented by someone else, nor can I believe that I'm the only trying 
to do this,
ERIC GANDT
