How to map application security role names to alternative group names defined in LDAP

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Is there some standard way within JBoss EAP to map application security role names (e.g. JBossAdmin for jmx-console) to the alternate group names defined in an external LDAP source?
  • I would like to be able to use Active Directory to allow users access to jmx console but the users are not in a JBossAdmin role and I don't want to edit the web.xml. For instance  a role such as  jb_admin from LDAP and then map it to JBossAdmin
  • Getting the issue "Username client1 does NOT have role JBossAdmin", how to map a new user with the role JBossAdmin when configured jmx-console with ActiveDirectory?
