    Overriding EJB security domain

    nvenk

      We are using JBoss 3.0.4 and facing this problem:-

      How to turn-off (override) authentication/authorization for a specific EJB ?
      Note all EJBs are secured under a common security domain declared at the top of jboss.xml. I tried to follow the documentation to override the security domain for that EJB with another one using a container configuration in jboss.xml and noticed that the override is not taking effect (the common one holds ground still ). Am I missing something ?

      <container-configurations>
      <container-configuration extends="Standard Stateless SessionBean">
      <container-name>TempStatelessSession</container-name>
      <security-domain>java:/jaas/client-login</security-domain>
      </container-configuration>
      </container-configurations>

      Any help is most appreciated.

      Thanks.

          I forgot to mention - I do reference the container name for that specific EJB for which I am trying to override the security domain. Basically I extended the container configuration from standardjboss.xml and tried to override the security domain.

          Thanks.

            Post the full configuration.

            Try enabled debug in log4j.xml to see if
            you can see anything obvious during deployment
            in server.log

              Here is the snippet of jboss.xml

              <?xml version="1.0"?>

              <security-domain>java:/jaas/SecDomainX</security-domain>
              <enterprise-beans>

              <ejb-name>EJBX</ejb-name>
              <jndi-name>EJBX</jndi-name>
              <container-name>TempStatelessSession</container-name>


              --- some more stuff ---

              <container-configurations>
              <container-configuration extends="Standard Stateless SessionBean">
              <container-name>TempStatelessSession</container-name>
              <security-domain>java:/jaas/SecDomainY</security-domain>
              </container-configuration>
              </container-configurations>



              Actually the security domain I was trying to override with was the default client-login just for testing purposes - org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule.

              Looking at jboss.log, I noticed the statement:

              2003-06-19 22:23:08,221 DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.StatelessSessionContainer] Binding securityDomain: java:/jaas/SecDomainX to JDNI ENC as: security/security-domain

              Anyway, I just want to suppress authentication for one of the stateless session beans to implement a business logic.

              Thanks.

                That looks correct at first glance.

                Can you post an example application,
                you haven't included ejb-jar.xml

                If you want to avoid security for a bean
                I would suggest configuring per bean
                rather than per deployment.
