Introduction

Using JAAS with jetty is very simply a matter of declaring a org.mortbay.jetty.plus.jaas.JAASUserRealm, creating a jaas login module configuration file and specifying it on the jetty run line.

Details

Let's look at an example.

Step 1

Configure a Jetty org.mortbay.jetty.plus.jaas.JAASUserRealm to match the <realm-name> in your web.xml file. For example, if the web.xml contains a realm called "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 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>
