luke_t Feb 19, 2002 3:08 PM (in response to jme)Hi,
I don't quite understand what you're trying to achieve, but you seem to be confused about the issue of "adding users to the JBoss server". JBoss doesn't have any inbuilt concept of how to store user information - it's up to you to provide that and write a login module to access it. Alternatively you can use one of the standard supplied modules which allow you to use a database, LDAP or properties files.
You will have to clear up a lot of your description. What do you mean by you "don't want any authentication do be done directly by clients". And why do you want login information to be intercepted by a Stateless SB?

2. Re: need help for this scenario
jme Feb 20, 2002 7:50 AM (in response to jme)Luke,Thanks for your reply.
the server which we are using i.e. "myserver" is an already established server. which is currently running on "JRun" server. The scenario which i explained was followed in case of JRun. similarly, i need to develop a pluggable module w.r.t JBoss with out disturbing the myserver.depending on the application server used, respective module will be called.
In Case of JRun, it is a problem if we donot add the users to JRun server before they try to login..so the users are added before they login.once the user is authenticated in "myserver" then he will be logged into "JRun server". if both are successful his authentication is successful. once the user is logged in ,all his access control to different beans are checked by the JRun server according to the roles declared in the ejb-jar.xml.
If JBoss doesnot pose any problem w.r.t this then we can skip "adding the users to JBoss server".
my basic confusion is , if any bean to be accessed in the JBoss server ,the user should be logged into the JBoss server right! so that user's permissions on any bean's methods will be checked by the JBoss server. and the beans deployed for "myserver" should be accessed only by the users of "myserver"
if i use the default SecurityImplementation of JBoss, i need to store the users info in users.properties. but i cannot put this file in the deployment jar file.because until the server starts i cannot develop this file.
i hope you understood the requirement. pl let me know how to proceed
Thanks.
