security-role-mapping

Maps roles to users or groups in the currently active realm. See Realm Configuration in Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Developer’s Guide.

The role mapping element maps a role, as specified in the EJB JAR role-name entries, to a environment-specific user or group. If it maps to a user, it must be a concrete user which exists in the current realm, who can log into the server using the current authentication method. If it maps to a group, the realm must support groups and the group must be a concrete group which exists in the current realm. To be useful, there must be at least one user in that realm who belongs to that group.
