Read up on jaas a little bit. Unfortunately im getting confused. Ashamed to say I need a serious hand holding here. I found a pretty easy to follow read on Federated SSO http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbosssso/?prjlist=false but that appears to be a separate download and not included with the bundled jboss app/portal. What I need to find is a step by step blueprint that explains the steps needed in setting up a authentication service that hits a jdbc store and allows it to authenticate portal users, and web app users.
