Unable to locate a login configuration

[berndreiners]

hi everyone!
every time i try to access to a JAAS secure Domain i get an "Unable to locate a login configuration" error
i dont have any more ideas what to do. Can anyone help?
my files look like this:

//-----------------------------------------------------
// jboss.xml:
//-----------------------------------------------------
..snip...
<security-domain>java:/jaas/bal_ims</security-domain>
<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>Fakultaet</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>bal_ims/Fakultaet</jndi-name>



<ejb-name>EntityPerson</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>bal_ims/EntityPerson</jndi-name>

</enterprise-beans>
..snip...

//-----------------------------------------------------
// auth.conf in {jboss_dist}/conf/mySQL_secure
//-----------------------------------------------------
..snip..
bal_ims{
org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UserRolesLoginModule required;
}
. . snip . .

//-----------------------------------------------------
// auth.conf in ProjectDirectory:
//-----------------------------------------------------
bal_ims{
org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsersRolesLoginModule optional;
};
. . snip . .

//-----------------------------------------------------
// ejb-jar.xml:
//-----------------------------------------------------
. . snip ..
<assembly-descriptor>
<security-role>
<role-name>entwickler</role-name>
</security-role>
<method-permission>
<role-name>entwickler</role-name>

<ejb-name>Fakultaet</ejb-name>
<method-name>berechneFakultaet</method-name>

</method-permission>
<method-permission>
<role-name>entwickler</role-name>

<ejb-name>EntityPerson</ejb-name>
<method-name>getName</method-name>

</method-permission>
</assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>

//-----------------------------------------------------
// roles.properties: (in JBoss/conf/mySQL_secure AND
// in ProjectDirectory cuz i didn't knew where they
// have to be)
//-----------------------------------------------------
username=entwickler
bernd=entwickler

//-----------------------------------------------------
// user.properties (same)
//-----------------------------------------------------
username=password
bernd=password


so in my oppinion all is correct. Why can't it fint that auth.conf??

sorry for posting this twice. it was a mistake B.

Hi,

You need to give more information. What version are you using and where are you seeing this message?

Assuming you are using a standalone client, you can tell it the location of the JAAS Login configuration file by specifying the "java.security.auth.login.config" property on the command line.

See the JAAS authentication tutorial that comes in the JDK 1.4 documentation (or download the JAAS documentation separately from Sun).

P.S.

You also appear to be using the server-side UserRolesLoginModule in both config files, and it is misspelt in one of them. The client side should be using the ClientLoginModule which sets the information up to be passed to the server, without actually performing the authentication.

Luke.

Could you give an example of what data would be in the configuration file?

On the client side, it would look something like this:

bal_ims{
org.jboss.security.auth.spi.ClientLoginModule required;
}

I have an additional (even if silly) question:

Where should the auth.conf be on the client - even if I enter some information the message stays the same. I think that the auth.conf isn't read at all.

[luke_t]

See the previous post in this thread about setting it's location using a command line property.

On M$ Windows, if you place the client auth.conf in a directory, Jboss will find it if you specify the following line of code:

System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "file:/C:/auth.conf");

By doing this, I got Scott Stark's example SessionClient working.

that works. now i have other Errors, but nor this. thnx u all.
But mustn't it be possible to give a general Location for that auth.conf but to say it explicit by this Property?
i think there must be a way to do so.
But .. as i told .. it finds its conf File now. thnxx :) bernd

[berndreiners]

thnx u all for helping.It works now :)
But.. as i know this crazy business, the next madness surely comes :)
