To answer my own question (and record a method that works for posterity)...

What I did was:-
Text of the SeamAuthenticator for a Glassfish realm...

package uk.co.mendipit.glassfishrealmauthenticator;

    public boolean authenticate() {
        try {
            String userNm = Identity.instance().getCredentials().getUsername();
            String pass = Identity.instance().getCredentials().getPassword();
            ProgrammaticLogin plogin = new ProgrammaticLogin();

            return plogin.login(userNm, pass, "fileRealm", true);
        } catch (Exception ex) {

            logger.log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            return false;
        }
    }

I am using Guvnor 2.1.1 on Glassfish 2.1 and mostly it seems to work 
very well.

However, I am now looking to setup authentication of users to the Guvnor 
server and this is where I am finding problems.

I tried writing a class with an "authenticate" method to authenticate 
against a Glassfish realm using ProgrammaticLogin but (as far as I can 
tell) this class is not being used by Guvnor.

Looking at the source, Guvnor appears to only use the 
org.jboss.seam.security.Identity.authenticate method which uses only the 
jaas-config-name value from the components.xml file.
So I then tried setting the jaas-config-name to "fileRealm" (which 
exists in Glassfish's default login.conf) but now I get 
"javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: No credentials." logged in my 
server.log (and the user get a fail message, naturally).

Has anyone out there managed to configure Guvnor to authenticate against 
a Glassfish realm or JAAS context and would be willing to help me through?
