[jetty-users] Accessing Jetty LoginModule

[Marco Matchefts <mmatchefts@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

    I am implementing a rest interface using Jersey and Jetty.  The Jetty version is version 9.0.4.  I have implemented authentication using form based authentication and a JAAS login service.  The JAAS login service uses the JDBCLoginModule for authentication [org.eclipse.jetty.jaas.spi.JDBCLoginModule].  In the rest interface implementation, I need to retrieve the list of roles associated with the session user.

I have not been able to figure out how to retrieve the list of roles associated with a specified user.  I did notice that the AbstractLoginModule provides a function for retrieving the UserInfo from the username, which contains the user’s roles.  Is there a way to access the LoginModule associated with the web application in the web application?  Is there another/better way to retrieve this information?

Thank you in advance.
