Hi, I'm totally confused with Glassfish's term Realm. I know the purpose of LoginModule and how to implement it, but what is Realm and why do we need it?

I think the realm specifies the credential source. Ie. if it's an LDAP
directory, then what server is it on, etc.; or if it's a database, what table
should it look in. Whereas the login module is how the application interacts
with the user to collect the credentials. [Message sent by forum member 'bleathem' (blea@triumf.ca)]
