chakotey07 I've managed to declare the properties files and run the aforementioned code to logout ... only I didn't really logout. In any case, I cannot maintain a flat file of usernames and passwords so I'm keen to learn how I can avoid the UsersRolesLoginModule all together. In my login-config.xml I am currently only defining my LdapExtLoginModule. Perhaps I should be defining an IdentityLoginModule as well? Did you mean the jboss-portal.sar\conf\login-config.xml or the server\default\conf\login-config.xml? nollie View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4073190#...
