15.3.9. Advanced Authentication Features
This section explores some of the advanced features provided by the security API for addressing more complex security requirements.
15.3.9.1. Using your container's JAAS configuration
If you prefer not to use the simplified JAAS configuration provided by the Seam Security API, you can use the default system JAAS configuration by adding a
jaas-config-name property to components.xml. For example, if you use JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and want to use the other policy (which uses the UsersRolesLoginModule login module provided by JBoss Enterprise Application Platform), then the entry in components.xml would look like this:
<security:identity jaas-config-name="other"/>
Keep in mind that doing this does not mean that your user will be authenticated in your Seam application container — it instructs Seam Security to authenticate itself with the configured JAAS security policy.
