The authenticate-method and jaas-config-name options are mutually exclusive, i.e. if you specify a jaas-config-name (instead of using the default SeamLoginModule) then JAAS authentication will be done using that configuration and the method configured with authenticate-method won't be called. If you just want to run some code after authentication is done you can create a org.jboss.seam.postAuthenticate event to do that. See chapter 5 of the reference docs for more info on events.
