Hi saspad, I think that the answer is in fact even easier, using standard JAAS: LoginContext loginContext = new LoginContext(JAAS_MODULE_NAME, new UsernamePasswordHandler(username, passwordCharArray)); loginContext.login(); try { // Do stuff here... } finally { loginContext.logout(); } The UsernamePasswordHandler is a simple JBoss class in org.jboss.security.auth.callback, and LoginContext is in javax.security.auth.login. This will use the standard JBoss authentication stuff including your configured LoginModules.
