Thanks for helping out Martin.
I am looking at login.conf right now and indeed it does not mention anywhere the JDBCRealm class. It only configures a JDBCLoginModule... But looking at the source for that I see:
(lots of code snipped for brevity)
package com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.login;
//...
import com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.jdbc.JDBCRealm;
//...
public class JDBCLoginModule extends PasswordLoginModule {
//...
protected void authenticate() throws LoginException {
if (!(_currentRealm instanceof JDBCRealm)) {
String msg = sm.getString("jdbclm.badrealm");
throw new LoginException(msg);
}
... so it seems to me that this approach of creating a custom JDBCRealm in my own package will not work unless I also make my own LoginModule, as the default one is checking that the current realm is an instance of sun's JDBCRealm.
But if I now also make my own LoginModule I feel my setup has got nothing to do anymore with the setup I am having trouble with and want to debug... Mmm.. this basically brings me back to my original question:
Does anyone know how to debug the JDBCRealm in Glassfish v3? I would preferable attach the Eclipse debugger to the running Glassfish server, set the source location and then step through the Realm and LoginModule code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have been banging my head agains this for over a week now and the JDBCRealm looked as if it was simple to setup. The problem is that it gives hardly any info on why logins are failing, except the fact that they are failing.

you are authenticating at the DB level so the short answer is no you will NOT need to configure another login
