So we override the default JAAS file-based configuration mechanism
with a configuration system of our own based on Geronimo components
(GBeans).
If you are doing this for a web application and you can use the normal
J2EE login routines, you can configure your login module as a Geronimo
security realm and let J2EE/Geronimo handle the login.
If you are intentionally avoiding the J2EE login handling, then you
probably need to rewrite your JAAS configuration as a Geronimo service
configuration (we have GBeans that wrap login module configuration,
etc.). You'll also need to put your classes in a JAR in the
repository (geronimo/repository/whatever/your-login-code-1.0.jar). It
will probably be a little painful to write the configuration plan, but
hey, you only need to do it once. :)
If you're going to need to write the plan, can you post the relevent
section from your existing JAAS config file?
Thanks,
Aaron
