How to specify the principal and credentials from the client

[claude]

Hi
I'm trying to specify the principal and credentials from the client.
I'm doing this that way:

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "user");
properties.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "passwd");
Context context = null;
context = new InitialContext(properties);

Then, I use the initial context to do the lookup on my bean home and I call: home.create();
It doesn't work. I get :
RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is:
java.rmi.RemoteException: checkSecurityAssociation; nested exception is:
java.lang.SecurityException: Authentication exception, principal=null

What's wrong???
(I use JBoss 2.4.0)

Thanks in advance
Claude

Read the security tutorial:

If you are using JAAS, make sure you have already obtained the LoginContext, before you do make the InitialContext. Otherwise, the security principal and credential will not get passed into the app server.

Also, to do this, you have to enablie ClientLoginModule on both the client and server side auth.conf.


org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule required;
