I agree that that was an strange thing for the user column. Strange enough on postgresql the error keep comming back.
im working 3 days on this issue and i just change the database to Mysql. The user column error only shows up when saving the jdbcRealm settings, butt when i restart the server the error does not show up anymore in the contrary with postgresql.
the steps for the configuration are from this website:

the only thing i did different is choose a user name, Password,Realm name, JDNI, and the map name where i store the resourses that got to secured.Even downloaded The sample application.
