Can the drools security rules be used in conjunction with the default identity implementation?

In other words can i declare both:

<security:identity authenticate-method="#{authenticator.authenticate}"/>

and

<drools:rule-base name="securityRules">
<drools:rule-files>
<value>/META-INF/security.drl</value>
</drools:rule-files>
</drools:rule-base>

and have them both work together?

Because I want to to call my authenticate method and do the drools security permissions.
