Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) Third Party Database Login Modules
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Custom or third party JAAS Database Login modules can be implemented, but they will filter or pass through our ClientContainer or WSLogin built-in JAAS methods.

Also IBM® WebSphere® Application Server requires a Custom Registry for a Java™ Database Connectivity JDBC relational database backend.
 
Cause
These are the current design specifications and not subject to change outside of submitting Feature Request through local marketing representative or Service Engineer. 
 
Resolving the problem
A Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) can be implemented to have third party container managed security authentication passed to Application Server (using for example custom built JAAS DBLogin module and jdbc Realm specification in an associated xml configuration file). Trust Association Interceptor is reliant upon class property values.
