The IdentityLoginModule is a simple login module that associates a hard-coded user name a to any subject authenticated against the module. It creates a SimplePrincipal instance using the name specified by the principal option. This login module is useful when you need to provide a fixed identity to a service and in development environments when you want to test the security associated with a given principal and associated roles.

The supported login module configuration options include:

A sample XMLLoginConfig configuration entry that would authenticate all users as the principal named jduke and assign role names of TheDuke, and AnimatedCharacter is:

<policy>
    <application-policy name="testIdentity">
        <authentication>
            <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.IdentityLoginModule"
                         flag="required">
                <module-option name="principal">jduke</module-option>
                <module-option name="roles">TheDuke,AnimatedCharater</module-option>
            </login-module>
        </authentication>
    </application-policy>
</policy> 

This module supports password stacking.
