Using JAAS with jetty is very simply a matter of declaring a Template:Org.mortbay.jetty.plus.jaas.JAASUserRealm, creating a jaas login module configuration file and specifying it on the jetty run line. Let's look at an example.

• Step 1*

Configure a jetty6 Template:Org.mortbay.jetty.plus.jaas.JAASUserRealm to match the {{<realm-name>}} in your Template:Web.xml file. For example, if the Template:Web.xml contains a realm called Template:"xyzrealm":

<login-config>
  <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
  <realm-name>xyzrealm</realm-name>
  <form-login-config>
    <form-login-page>/login/login</form-login-page>
    <form-error-page>/login/error</form-error-page>
  </form-login-config>
</login-config>

Then the following Template:JAASUserRealm would be declared in a jetty configuration file:

<Call name="addUserRealm">
  <Arg>
    <New class="org.mortbay.jetty.plus.jaas.JAASUserRealm">
      <Set name="name">xyzrealm</Set>
      <Set name="LoginModuleName">xyz</Set>
    </New>
  </Arg>
</Call>

{warning:title=Important!} It is imperative that the contents of the {{<realm-name>}} and the {{<Set name="name">}} of the JAASUserRealm instance are _exactly_ the same {warning}{*}Step 2*

Set up your LoginModule in a configuration file, following the [syntax rules
