29.5. JAAS Security Manager

JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) is a standard part of the Java platform. It provides a common API for security authentication and authorization, allowing you to plug in your pre-built implementations.
To configure the JAAS security manager to work with your pre-built JAAS infrastructure, you need to specify the security manager as a JAASSecurityManager in the beans file. Here is an example:
<bean name="HornetQSecurityManager"
      class="org.hornetq.integration.jboss.security.JAASSecurityManager">
    <start ignored="true"/>
    <stop ignored="true"/>

    <property name="ConfigurationName">org.hornetq.jms.example.ExampleLoginModule</property>
    <property name="Configuration">
       <inject bean="ExampleConfiguration"/>
    </property>
    <property name="CallbackHandler">
       <inject bean="ExampleCallbackHandler"/>
    </property>
</bean>
Note that you need to feed the JAAS security manager with three properties:
ConfigurationName
The name of the LoginModule implementation that JAAS must use
Configuration
The Configuration implementation used by JAAS
CallbackHandler
The CallbackHandler implementation to use if user interaction are required
