      Our workaround for standalone JBoss AS is to add "CLIENT_LOGIN_MODULE" application-policy in login-config.xml and use that for EJB container authentication.
      For clustering environment, the workaround is to add "BYPASSED-SECURITY" application-policy in login-config.xml to handle the EJB container authentication.

      A degredation from JBoss 4.0.x and 4.2.x to JBoss 5.0.1.GA and JBoss 5.1.0.GA.

      We noticed that the JAAS login in EJB container always picks up the Web app's security domain when the client login is originated from a web application client. The security domain specified in EJB container's jboss.xml is always ignored in this situation.

      The detailed problem description is posted on JBoss forum:
