[Roland R?z (JIRA)]

JaccAuthorizationRealm doesn't support the allRolesMode
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-3820
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3820
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.5.GA
            Reporter: Roland R?z
         Assigned To: Scott M Stark
            Priority: Minor


The allRolesMode feature is described in http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2926.

In the server.xml the org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccAuthorizationRealm is documented to provide an attribute named allRolesMode. The attribute is inherited from the parent class JbossSecurityMgrRealm but this attribute has no meaning for JaccAuthorizationRealm. I know it is not easy to provide this features for jacc but at least the xml comment has to be fixed and it has to be mentioned that this feature is not possible with jacc. 


I have posted in http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1824 (JACC: <role-name>*</role-name> in web.xml) a possible solution as a comment. Please take also a look a that when fixing this issue.
