I am having two problems related to JAAS authentication and jasperserver. 

I login into jasperserver and I have no problem authenticating using JAAS.  If I hit the 'Home' link, I get the following exception.  Any ideas?

If I then logout and try to log back in, I get the following exception.  I've tried to add my own UserDetailsService to the JaasAuthenticationProvider bean in applicationContext-security.xml, but it doesn't seem like I can.  The bean does not expect UserDetailsService as a property.  Other authentication providers have it, but not JAAS.  I am so completely frustrated with Acegi.  Any help or even pointers to documentation more than Spring/Acegi provides would be greatly appreciated.

JAAS authentication can certainly be done.

Have a look at the Acegi documentation on this at: http://acegisecurity.org/reference.html

The forum is also a great resource. http://forum.springframework.org/forumdisplay.php?f=33
