Hi, I suppose I'm missing a point somewhere, so please tell me.

I just don't see in what way JAAS authentication can guarantee knowledge of a client 
stand alone application user.

Example: I'm writing a client application which connects to EJBs. I've used JAAS 
authentication to authenticate the user (lets say with NTLoginModule). This is on 
Windows XP.

Now my point is, basically anyone who has access to a computer with this application 
(with their own account of course) can use the application simply by editing and 
changing the login-configuration file and the JAAS security policy file.  Am I right?

I must be missing a point here, or is JAAS authentication totally useless?

Thanks

Harvey
