I am using JBoss AS 4.0.2 , JBoss-Portal 2.0 and Oracle9i. I am developing a portlet to authenticate users... The procedure is as follows.

I have created a USERS_TAB table with USER_NAME and PASSWORD fields and USER_ROLES_TAB table with USER_NAME and USER_ROLES fields. I need to users to type their user name and password and authenticate them.

I have already actuvated JBoss for Oracle DB connectivity and I can access it through the jboss-portal. I need the security configuration that I need to do to JBoss portal...
