First of all I am new using JBoss and wasn't sure if this was the right place where to put my qustion so I apologize if it wasn't. I have an application that is autheticating using JAAS against a database, the queries are fine and it actually authenticates the user using a setSimple(userLogin, pwd). The client has its domain defined and some of the class functions can only be accessed if the user has the appropiate roles. The problem is that once I authenticate the user in the main thread, it seems like if i have to authenticate again in each of the child threads of the client, calling it the function I use to authenticate  with a null user and a null pasword (thus throwing an exception) I think that theres gotta be someway for the server/client to remember that the user is actually authenticated so it wont be authenticated more than once in each thread of the application. Is that actually paussible? Or how do I prevent the server/client from doing it after I authenticated the user the first time? There is no logout call in the code other than the one I use if the (userLogin, pwd) combination is invalid. Hope anyone can help me with this. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/596638#596638] Start a new discussion in EJB3 Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
