We have different clients that require different authentication sources. For 
instance, our external clients user/pass are kept in a DB whereas our internal 
user/pass are kept in ActiveDirectory. I would like to extend the security 
layer of jboss to use the "client type" to decide which security store to 
authenticate against. I would also like this to be transparent to the client 
and do not want to deploy each service multiple times for each client type to 
use a different security scheme. Additionally all of the role and other 
security information that we use (privileges etc..) are always in the DB. So in 
a nutshell I would like to 

1) perform authentication using a client-dependent "store"
2) retreive authorization from some other "store"

What is the recommended approach to accomplish the above? 

I know that I can "piggy back" the "client type" parameter on the method 
invocation that can later be used in the security manager to "decide" where to 
look.

Thanks,
Chris
