There's no standardized declarative way in JASPIC, but there is a programmatic
way.
 
A WebListener can call something like 
"AuthConfigFactory.getFactory().registerConfigProvider(...)" to register such
module. Incidentally, the programmatic way is thus the only standardized way ;)

I'm building a kind of Acid test for JASPIC at 
https://github.com/arjantijms/jaspic-capabilities-test and all test 
applications bundle the SAM with the .war.

On my blog

I have described this process in some more detail.
