If both "*" and rolenames appear, the container interprets this as all roles. If no roles are defined, no user is allowed access to the portion of the web application described by the containing security-constraint. The container matches role names case sensitively when determining access.

id Attribute of auth-constraint

The ID mechanism is to allow tools that produce additional deployment information (i.e., information beyond the standard deployment descriptor information) to store the non-standard information in a separate file, and easily refer from these tool-specific files to the information in the standard deployment descriptor.

Tools are not allowed to add the non-standard information into the standard deployment descriptor.
