You need to write a custom login module for this.  It should be pretty easy to 
modify the sql login module, but you definitely can't use the existing one.  
For one thing you need a CallableStatement to execute the stored procedure.  On 
the other hand the java code should be a lot simpler.

Hi, I would like to use standard J2EE Form-based authentication using a j_security_check request to 
authenticate a user against an Oracle database. However, the password stored in the database is 
encrypted, and the only way to authenticate against that database is to invoke a stored-procedure 
passing the Usernanme/Password from the login form, and the stored-procedure will return a 'Y' or 
'N' indicating the success/failure of the authentication. This doesn't seem to me to fit into the 
"Database (SQL) Realm" that I see in Geronimo where a "User SELECT SQL" 
statement is required to return two columns: Username and Password.

Is this scenario easily possible with the current Security Realm types in Geronimo ?? Or 
do I need to use the "Other" security realm type and write a custom Login 
module ?? Examples would be appreciated. Thanks much.....
