    Is declarative role -> group mapping possible?

    rlewisshell

      Hi,

      With JBoss 4, is it possible to declaratively map J2EE roles defined by the application to groups in the operation environment as can be done with other appservers (WL/WS/SunOne etc) using their custom deployment descriptors?

      I am trying to 'port' an app has about 30 roles that we have been mapping to 5 existing LDAP groups. After reading the JAAS HOWTO, and Ch8 of the admin guide, I am not seeing a way to achieve the same thing declaratively.

      If there is no declarative way, would implementing a custom LoginModule that queries for group membership and then translates group names to role names for the Roles principal group be a typical way to do this?

      Thanks,

      Richard
