Hi,
I started a how-to about using the JAAS provider for container managed authentication. But this is about using container managed security with custom JAAS login modules.
If you want to natively code in JAAS, all you need to do is to ensure you set the jaasMode in the aplication's orion-application.xml file. See the OC4J security guide, which is a part of teh OracleAs documentation available nline at otn.oracle.com --> documentation
The XML provider is the dafult provider configured in OC4J and can have user and groups configured as well as JAAS permissions for each of them. You specify the JAAS LoginModule in the system-jazn-data.xml file of the OC4J container and access the login configuration name within your application as part of the created JAAS LoginContext. Once you have this, you obtain a authenticated subject with the user Principals. Using this principals you can now perform check permissions on the AccessController context.
