[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: Identity management docs

[kukeltje]

Heiko,

There is not much documentation about this. For the PVM a new identity 'module' is developed. I hope this will integrate better with e.g. the portal usermanagement module or the parts of seam. To be honest, I'd hope that JBoss will make a separate 'shared/common' thing out of  this and e.g. combine it with the SSO. 

Ok, now some real answers

The webconsole takes the credentials from the webcontainer. So cert, basic or form based authentication can be used. There is some work going on within JBoss (afaik) to develop a new(er) (again) console based on seam. 

The starterkit has a login config for AS that verifies credentials in the jBPM database, but that could be any system. Currently users have to be in the jbpm database as well in combination with having certain roles in there. Although this identity module can be 'replaced', it is not very easy to do and there are some weird dependencies. I have been trying to replace the current identity module with one based on ldap, but failed because of these dependencies and the identity module not really being a 'service' like persistency, subprocessresolver etc...

The WS facacde could (should?) leverage the same mechanism/

Regarding JBPM-429, not sure if it is done, I'd have to check the source to see.
