Problem mapping LoginModule roles to ejb security roles

Question

I have "successfully" managed to implement the DBSystemLoginModule. When I run my application I successfully authenticate to the database, the login module successfully retrieves the users roles from the database and adds them to the subject:
PassiveCallbackHandler cbh = new PassiveCallbackHandler(username, password);
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("current-workspace-app", cbh);
lc.login();
I then perform a lookup on a bean using the same user:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "oracle.j2ee.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
env.put("java.naming.security.principal",username);
env.put("java.naming.security.credentials",password);
env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "ormi://localhost:23891/current-workspace-app");
Context ic = new InitialContext(env);
final SessionEJBHome sessionEJBHome =
(SessionEJBHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow( ic.lookup( "SessionEJB" ), SessionEJBHome.class );
Finally, I create an instance of the bean and call a method of this bean.
SessionEJB sessionEJB;
sessionEJB = sessionEJBHome.create( );
sessionEJB.testMe( );
I am expecting (hoping) that the roles retrieved from the database by the login module may be used to authenticate the ejb methods. i.e. if (in ejb-jar.xml) the method "testMe" has a method-permission with role-name of "ABC" then this method may only be accessed if the user is a member of the "ABC" role retrieved from the database by the login module. However I get the message:
"username is not allowed to call this EJB method"
When I add a security-role-mapping in orion-ejb-jar.xml mapping the role "ABC" to the group "ABC" (and impliesALL="true") then the method is called successfully. However, if I add a security-role-mapping mapping the role "DEF" to the group "DEF" (which the user is not a member of) the ejb method is (wrongly) called successfully (with implies all="false" the method always fails). In other words there seems to be no mapping of the roles retrieved by the login module to the ejb security roles.
Can anyone please enlighten me on how I can achieve the mapping of the ejb security roles to the roles obtained from the login module.
Thanks
PS I have this problem with JDeveloper 10.1.3 (Developer Preview 10.1.3.0.2.223 and Early Access 10.1.3.0.3.3412)

Hi Sebastian,
yes, it is possible to do such mapping. And here how it works:
1. define security roles in the ejb-jar.xml within the <security-role>. For example:
<security-role>
     <role-name>test</role-name>
</security-role>
2. then you map the roles those roles to server security roles using the <security-role-map> tag of the ejb-j2ee-engine.xml descriptor.
<security-permission>
   <security-role-map>
      <role-name>test</role-name>
      <server-role-name>myUMErole</server-role-name>
   </security-role-map>
</security-permission>
the myUMErole must be defined in the UME!
Does this answer your question?
