Help: My authentication is not working. Sort of.

Okay.
I inherited a legacy app that was written to use JBoss2.4 and  
Tomcat3.2.3. I'm really not familiar either JBoss or Tomcat,  
unfortunately, so this is firmly in beginner-land.

I'm running 5.5.20 on JDK1.5.0_11, on CentOS Linux 4.4.

My problem is, we've gotten the app to come up, and it is most  
assuredly authenticating against the LDAP store we have, however,  
it's not picking up the roles from out of the database. I don't know  
if this is simply misconfigured on my part (the docs for LDAP stores  
aren't very good), or a bug, or what.

I went through the long process of tracing the login request in a  
debugger, and I can see it authenticate properly - but the Principal  
object doesn't have any defined roles. I saw in my LDAP logfiles  
that, yes, it found the role and it was returning it properly.

I don't know what to do. I also don't know what config files I should  
attach to aid in figuring this out.

Thanks,
Aurynn
