If the interface to the third-party app is via a resource adapter,
then the mapping from application principal to the EIS (your 3rd party app)'s principal
could be performed through the "security maps" feature referred to by Ron above.
Please see
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3658/ablqs for more
information on security maps and how they can be used.
