Wierd seucrity login module questions!!

[mskonda]

My goal is to encrypt datasouce passwords in our current production system.

I followed the wiki and wrote a class (module) of my own. I've created (almost copied) the SecurityIdentityLoginModule to have properties such as pbePass, algo, salt and iterationCount configured.

I did the following:

- I've added the reference to the policy name in my *-ds.xml(see below)
- I've added the relevant bits in login-config.xml (see below)
- when I deploy I can see that the login module invoked is mine

However, I find these things intriguing:

- Although I have different applicaition-policy definitions for different daatasources, I can only see that my LoginModule being invoked just once! I am not sure why though - can any one explain to me if this is expected?

- Secondly if I have two datasouce definitions, one with XA and other non-XA, I can only see that the LoginModule is invoked just for Non-XA all the times. The XA version, looks like, doesn't do any authentication. I've tried to deploy just a single XA datasource and found that my LoginModule being not invoked. I am not sure why though. Is this expected, if yes, could you give me an explanation, if not, is this a bug?

- third, even if I change the password string to incorrect one deliberately, the second DS deployment doesn't complain!

Can someone throw few pointers, please?

Help/input much appreciated.

Thanks
