Thanks, Ahmed!
While I'm studying this info, can anyone outline the relationship
between JAAS and Tomcat (or other Servlet container) security
services? Do J2EE containers implement JAAS? Do they use the
"Subject" object? "Configuration" object? Do they implement
LoginContext? Do they have to to be certified J2EE compliant?
Thanks again,
Martin
