= Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers (JASPIC)

JASPI is not available by default for deployments, and a specific
Security Domain must be created to use it. For a simplified developer
experience, a default JASPI Domain is already bundled, called
`jaspitest`.

To make use of it, a Web Application only needs to specifiy the desired
security domain in the `jboss-web.xml` deployment descriptor. This file
should be located under the `WEB-INF` directory. An example
`jboss-web.xml` enabling the default JASPI domain:

[source, java]
----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jboss-web xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-web_10_0.xsd"
    version="10.0">
    <security-domain>jaspitest</security-domain>
</jboss-web>
----

For EAR deployments, a `jboss-app.xml` like the following should be used
instead, placed under the root META-INF directory:

[source, java]
----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-app xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    version="7.0">
    <security-domain>jaspitest</security-domain>
</jboss-app>
