Customize application login with Java Authentication and Authorization Service

WebSphere Application Server supports plugging in a custom JAAS login module before or after the WAS system login module. However, WAS does not support the replacement of the WAS system login modules, used to create the WSCredential credential and WSPrincipal principal in the Subject. By using a custom login module, we can either make additional authentication decisions or add information to the Subject to make additional, potentially finer-grained, authorization decisions inside a Java EE application.
