Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2012-10-29 04:44:51 UTC 
When using role-based authorization to configure EJB access, JACC permissions should be used to determine access. The implementation logic of the JACC workflow resulted in the authorization being incorrectly configured and wrongly delegated. As a result, the configured authorization modules (JACC, XACML, etc.) are never called and the JACC permissions are never used to determine access to an EJB. This flaw only affects JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6. Earlier versions are not affected.
