The Teiid system provides a range of built-in and extensible security features to enable the secure access of data. For details about how to configure the available security features check out Admin Guide.

LoginModules are an essential part of the JAAS security framework and provide Teiid customizable user authentication and the ability to reuse existing LoginModules defined for JBossAS. Refer to the JBoss Application Server security documentation for information about configuring security in JBoss Application Server, http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/admindevel326/html/ch8.chapter.html.
