Craig Ringer commented on AS7-1298:
-----------------------------------
Note in particular
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Security+Subsystem which
says:
"When deploying applications to the JBoss Application Server most of the time it is
likely that you would be deploying a web application or EJBs and just require a security
domain to be defined with login modules to verify the users identity, this chapter aims to
provider additional detail regarding the architecture and capability of the security
subsystem however if you are just looking to define a security domain and leave the rest
to the container please jump to ****************************. -- TODO"
Most of the rest is skeleton. So perhaps support is there, just not really documented, and
with some significant limitations (
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1297).
JBoss AS 7 doesn't appear to support container-managed security
via web.xml and jboss-web.xml

Key: AS7-1298
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1298
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: EJB, Security, Web
Affects Versions: 7.0.0.Final
Environment: n/a
Reporter: Craig Ringer
Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
There's no documentation for container-managed security in JBoss AS 7, and the schema
for the main jboss config files and jboss-web.xml don't suggest any configuration
mechanisms for JAAS realms, principal-to-user/group mappings, etc.
This is a significant limitation for apps porting from Glassfish 3, which expect to be
able to access the current security principal from JNDI or inject it, and expect to be
able to declare container-controlled access to particular URLs and different HTTP methods
in web.xml.
Documenting this limitation in AS 7.0.0 would be a big improvement and would save porting
time and hassle. Implementing support in a future version would, of course, be ideal.
