Thanks Kosmi. Your post didnt come through, but i got it by viewing source. Now i get a new message, basically saying the password is wrong. however.. Its not. Does jaas authentication mandate some kind of standard encryption in stored DB passwords? Im 100% sure that my User/ pass combo are right, but i get the following debug in my logs. | 09:24:56,390 DEBUG [[localhost]] Checking for SSO cookie | 09:24:56,390 DEBUG [[localhost]] SSO cookie is not present | 09:24:56,390 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Security checking request GET /myauth/ | 09:24:56,390 DEBUG [RealmBase] Checking constraint 'SecurityConstraint[myauth]' against GET / --> true | 09:24:56,390 DEBUG [RealmBase] Checking constraint 'SecurityConstraint[myauth]' against GET / --> true | 09:24:56,390 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Calling hasUserDataPermission() | 09:24:56,390 DEBUG [RealmBase] User data constraint has no restrictions | 09:24:56,390 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Calling authenticate() | 09:24:56,406 DEBUG [DatabaseServerLoginModule] Bad password for username=1 | 09:24:56,406 DEBUG [AuthenticatorBase] Failed authenticate() test | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985439#...
