JBoss/Jetty/JAAS not working - has anybody got this working

[tentacle]

The principal is not being set/persisted/cached after a successful login. Principal = null! How does one setup JBoss to handle this? There is no documentation, examples or help from anywhere for this issue. The principle=null issue is occuring so often in this forum, I cannot believe there is no solution for this. Is this a JBoss bug?
I have spent a serious amount of time on this now and having no luck at all.

It works:
Check commented parts of JMX Console in:
login-config.xml (at the end of file) and
.../deploy/jmx-console.war/WEB-INF/*.xml
All configuration parts are well commented. Do by examle.
create files users.properties:
...
username1=password1
...
create files roles.properties:
...
username1=role1
...
Put both files in the root of web archive.
