An alternative to using authentication by the container is to use JCIFS to perform authentication based upon Windows credentials as a ServletFilter.

You should ask this question to JBoss team. Basically, there is a way to have kerberos authentification shared between windows session and JBoss server (the user token is forwarded by browser to JBoss server which use it to authenticate user). JBoss team has most probably far more experience than JSF team at setting such a container authentification. Nothing to do with jsf.
