I have a problem with logon on JBoss and a security domain. The application is a WebStart application. The idea is to log on and make some beans working. The beans fetch information from a database and will authenticate a user e.g. by his biometrics. Then the user is logged on with his credentials. On JBoss 4 the task was easy. The logon preparation was done by:

/* does not longer work with JBoss > 4 
            SecurityAssociation.setPrincipal(new SimplePrincipal(
                    ILConstants.ANONYMOUS_NAME ));
            SecurityAssociation.setCredential(ILConstants.ANONYMOUS_PASSWORD.toCharArray());
*/
 /*
    get the bean and rum  createMethod.invoke */
*/

The security domain is set inside the jboss.xml file of the EAR archive

<security-domain>myserver</security-domain>

and defined in the login-config.xml file

<application-policy name = "MyLogin">
    <authentication>
        <login-module code="com.test.auth.MyLoginModule" flag = "required">
        <module-option name = "debug">true</module-option>
        </login-module>
    </authentication>
    </application-policy>
    
    <application-policy name = "myserver">
    <authentication>
        <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.RunAsLoginModule" flag="required">
        <module-option name = "roleName">myAdmin</module-option>
        <module-option name = "debug">true</module-option>
        </login-module>
        <login-module code="com.test.auth.MyServerLoginModule"
                flag = "required" />
    </authentication>
    </application-policy>

The MyLogin domain is later used to log on the user with its credential.

As I said this works fine on JBoss 4. On JBoss 6 this is not longer possible. I replaced the java part with:

/* does not longer work with JBoss > 4 
            SecurityAssociation.setPrincipal(new SimplePrincipal(
                    ILConstants.ANONYMOUS_NAME ));
            SecurityAssociation.setCredential(ILConstants.ANONYMOUS_PASSWORD.toCharArray());
*/
/* Should work with JBoss 6 */            
            SecurityAssociationHandler handler = new SecurityAssociationHandler();
            SimplePrincipal user = new SimplePrincipal(ILConstants.ANONYMOUS_NAME);
            handler.setSecurityInfo(user, ILConstants.ANONYMOUS_PASSWORD.toCharArray());
            LoginContext loginContext = new LoginContext("myserver", (CallbackHandler) handler);
            loginContext.login();

/*
    get the bean and rum  createMethod.invoke */
*/

Here the domain "myserver" is not found. As far as I understand the documents in JBoss 4 the domain was taken from the  jboss.xml file. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help
