If you, like me, love the Datasource based authentication in Tomcat,
then you missed this in Glassfish.
I know next version will have JDBC authentication, but I can't wait, and
as far as I could see, will not be equals to Tomcat implementation...
Then I wrote a JdbcAuthModule configurable just like Tomcat one. And is
avaliable now, with source and tutorial included.
If you have interest, just check my blog:

AFAIK, it could work with previous versions too (could someone else test
this?).
Best regards,
