In my security-jboss-beans.xml, I have <bean name="JNDIBasedSecurityManagement" class="com.apropos.api.jboss.SecurityRealm"/> whereas you have <bean name="JNDIBasedSecurityManagement" class="org.jboss.security.integration.JNDIBasedSecurityManagement"> | <property name="authenticationMgrClass">org.cogest.security.JProSecurityManager</property> | </bean> I think the value of the class attribute needs to be your custom module and you may not need the property element within.
