Hello, I'm researching JBoss Portal for a few projects. After browsing through 
the documentation, I have a few questions about JAAS and SSO. If someone has a 
few minutes to either go into detail on a few points or direct me to some 
further documentation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

As I understand the software (from the reference documentation), the 
permissions are mapped to roles in the jboss-portlet.xml. These roles are 
defined in the database and managed via the roles portlet. Obtaining 
authorization for a permission is done by a call to JBossRenderRequest or 
JBossActionRequest's hasPermission(permission) method.

Are there methods to obtain the Principal or the Subject? For instance, I will 
need to somehow authenticate and authorize the user in my service layer which 
will most likely be a remote or local EJB sesssion facade. What would be 
considered the best practice for accomplishing this under your famework/API?

Also, are there any modules written for obtaining authentication/authorization 
against other user stores (LDAP, etc.) or is this left to the developer to 
implement via some custom LoginModule or other means?
