Before going any further with it on your own, perhaps you can integrate
your JAAS module with sslext.

Um wow.... so Form authentication works but not my own.
Thats fine then, I can get the Subject that has been authenticated but
how do I place the Principals returned from the LoginContext Subject and
make them available to the session so that I can do requst.isUserInRole?
Is there a session variable I have to set?

OK I got JAAS working with form authentication. That worked a treat
(After a
bit of head banging).
I then moved to invoking the login from Struts (Or a Servlet for Tomcat
users who don't use Struts)
The code still gets invoked correctly.
IBTJAASCallbackHandler callbackHandler = new
IBTJAASCallbackHandler(loginForm.getUserName(), loginForm.getPassword());
LoginContext context = new LoginContext("IBTJAAS", callbackHandler);
context.login();
However the request.remoteUser() is now null (Was populated correctly
when I
used form authentication) and the same for request.isUserInRole() (It
returns false, even though the Principal was added to the subject).
Any ideas...?
I could be totally wrong but I believe that I have read about people
trying this before, and that the answer was that you have to do it all
yourself.
I hesitate to say that since I'm not 100% sure but I think it's true
because it makes sense that the container (request.isUserInRole etc)
would know nothing about what you are doing with LoginContext and
CallbackHandler. I don't think there is any code in LoginContext that
injects your info into the servlet container, is there?
In this situation, you would override the HttpServletRequest class,
overriding those methods with your own so that they look for your login
info and return user objects, roles etc when required.
You could ask on the tomcat user list but I too have found it difficult
to get help there.
