Login com JSF - Login failed: Security Exception

Olá a todos.
Estou com um problema ao logar em minha aplicação JSF 2 no Glassfish 3.1.2, usando o Netbeans 7

Estou recebendo a seguinte mensagem de erro no console do glassfish:

Advertência: WEB9102: Web Login Failed: com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.login.common.LoginException: Login failed: Security Exception

Minha página login.xhtml:

Meu BeanLogin:

[code]/*

    */
    package sonic.action.login;

import java.security.Principal;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.inject.Named;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

@Stateless
@Named
public class BeanLogin {

private String username;
private String password;

public BeanLogin() {
}

public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}

public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
}

public String getUsername() {
    return username;
}

public void setUsername(String username) {
    this.username = username;
}



public String login() {
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
    try {        
        Principal userPrincipal = request.getUserPrincipal();
        if (request.getUserPrincipal() != null) {
            request.logout();
        }
        request.login(this.username, this.password);
        userPrincipal = request.getUserPrincipal();
        System.out.println(userPrincipal.getName());        
    } catch (ServletException e) {
        context.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Login failed."));
        return "error";
    }
    return "loginAdmin";
}

public void logout() {
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
    try {
        request.logout();
    } catch (ServletException e) {
        context.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Logout failed."));
    }
}

}
[/code]

Dessa vez eu acho que não é nenhuma configuração do glassfish (finalmente), mas a exceção ocorre na linha

request.login(this.username, this.password);

Agradeço a ajuda de todos.
