There's no documentation for JCAuthentication except what's in the 
framework source code itself.  You won't find references to it on 
Google unless they're questions posed by yours truly about making the 
framework into a JAR for servlet deployment.

Probably the dilemma you're facing is one where you had a 
task-privilege based system (user can do X but not Y) rather than a 
role based system (user is "Staff" which has these privileges) already 
thought out?  You probably want a role based system anyway, because 
this more closely resembles an LDAP schema's organizational units.  
(Talking out my arse on that last sentence.)

But what you should recognize is that if you already had set up a User 
entity that had a login and password, you're already set up for 
JCAuthentication.framework.  All you need to do is get that custom EO 
logic in the User class that creates the defaults for you on a user's 
first login.
