The following information will help you to create a custom Login Module example that extends the UsernamePasswordLoginModule and obtains a user's password and role names from a JNDI lookup.
At the end of this section you will have created a custom JNDI context login module that will return a user's password if you perform a lookup on the context using a name of the form password/<username> (where <username> is the current user being authenticated). Similarly, a lookup of the form roles/<username> returns the requested user's roles.
Note that because this extends the JBoss UsernamePasswordLoginModule, all JndiUserAndPass does is obtain the user's password and roles from the JNDI store. The JndiUserAndPass does not interact with the JAAS LoginModule operations.

The details of the JNDI store are found in the org.jboss.book.security.ex2.service.JndiStore MBean. This service binds an ObjectFactory that returns a javax.naming.Context proxy into JNDI. The proxy handles lookup operations done against it by checking the prefix of the lookup name against password and roles.
When the name begins with password, a user's password is being requested. When the name begins with roles the user's roles are being requested. The example implementation always returns a password of theduke and an array of roles names equal to {"TheDuke", "Echo"} regardless of what the user name is. You can experiment with other implementations as you wish.
The example code includes a simple session bean for testing the custom login module. To build, deploy and run the example, execute the following command in the examples directory.
ant -Dchap=security -Dex=2 run-example
[examples]$ ant -Dchap=security -Dex=2 run-example
...
run-example2:
[echo] Waiting for 5 seconds for deploy...
[java] [INFO,ExClient] Login with user name=jduke, password=theduke
[java] [INFO,ExClient] Looking up EchoBean2
[java] [INFO,ExClient] Created Echo
[java] [INFO,ExClient] Echo.echo('Hello') = Hello

The choice of using the JndiUserAndPass custom login module for the server side authentication of the user is determined by the login configuration for the example security domain. The EJB JAR META-INF/jboss.xml descriptor sets the security domain.
