My understanding is that JSR 196 is not for application developers, but for
container vendors, so I'd like to stay away unless there really is no other
choice. I'm not exactly where the lines are drawn, but creating a custom
LoginModule and Realm might be included in that.
I've actually got a need to authenticate against NIS in addition to LDAP,
and I'm not seeing any pre-made NIS support in GlassFish so I might have to
get my hands dirty anyways.
