How to configure JAAS for JBoss

1. In jboss.xml, add <security-domain>java:/jaas/jboss-secure</security-domain>
2. In JBoss install directorty, C:\jboss-4.2.1.GA\server\default\conf, add users.properties and roles.properties
3. In users.properties, add user=pass
4. In roles.properties, add user=role
5. Deploy ejb, restart jboss
6. In your ejb client, your initialContext should look like this
7. properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY , "org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory");
   properties.put("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://localhost:1099");
   properties.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "user");
   properties.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "pass");
   
   Context ic = new InitialContext(properties);

Or alternatively,

Application Server side:

NO CHANGES

EJB side:

1. In jboss.xml add domain
2. Add users.properties, roles.properties to ejb jar above META-INF

This is probably the simplest tutorial on JAAS (that actually works!)
