ADF - validate the username and password against a database table

Container-managed security allows web applications to delegate authentication and authorization decisions to the executing web container.In Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J) the authentication and authorization decision is handled by the OracleAS JAAS Provider.Web applications running in OC4J can be configured to authenticate users against Oracle Internet Directory (OID), third-party LDAP, CoreId, jazn-data.xml or a custom JAAS LoginModule.The benefit of container-managed security in contrast to a pure JAAS approach (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) approach is that the application logic is not mixed with authentication and authorization code, which ensures portability.

This article explains how to leverage database tables for storing account information for user authentication and authorization of Java EE applications in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 and OC4J 10.1.3.2.
