    Resolution: Won't Fix

This is a quite old issue. As far as I recall there was some pushback on offering this option on the dev list and I did not follow this path further.

> In some cases the user is already authenticated in some other way and a JAAS LoginModule should only retrieve the roles of a user. 
> For this case it makes sense to introduce an option like "checkCredentials" or "authenticate" with default to true. If it is set to false in a jaas realm module config then the credentials should not be validated.
