Please reply to the LIST, not just me. The reason I ask is that I wanted to know where you're storing the user/role information. I will assume that you are using a database. In your Valve, you could just replicate the internal processes* of the Realm to determine the roles and assign them to the Principal. * define & use SQL statements to look up the roles for the supplied username. p > > > > > DISCLAIMER > ========== > This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the > property of Persistent Systems Ltd.
