    Flush Authentication Cache don't work

    solso

      Hello!

      I have a servlet which changes the roles of users in a database. To make this changes also in JaasSecurityManager, I flush the authentication cache.

      here is a sniplet of my code for this:
      try
      {
      RMIAdaptor server = (RMIAdaptor) ctx.lookup("jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor");
      ObjectName name = new ObjectName("jboss.security:service=JaasSecurityManager");

      String[] params = { "codatexsecurity" };
      String[] signature = { "java.lang.String" };
      Object result = server.invoke(name, "flushAuthenticationCache", params, signature);
      }
      catch (Exception eee)
      {
      //forward to reg.jsp with mode=error
      error = eee.getMessage();
      url = "/reg.jsp?mode=error&error="+error;
      }

      I get no error or exception when accessing the servlet. Everything seem to work correct, but actually nothing happens. When I try to login with a user, the old cached role is still active.

      I have JBoss Version 3.2.2 with tomcat and using DatabaseLoginModul.

      How can I flush the cache? Or is there another solution for my problem?

      Thanks...

          Hi,

          I use the following code snippet:

          ---------- SNIP ---------- SNIP ---------- SNIP ----------
          InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
          RMIAdaptor jbossServer = (RMIAdaptor) ctx.lookup( "jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor" );
          ObjectName jaasSecMgr =
          new ObjectName("jboss.security:service=JaasSecurityManager");
          // jboss-web.xml: <security-domain>java:/jaas/other</security-domain>
          String secDomain = "other";
          String method = "flushAuthenticationCache";
          Object[] params = { secDomain };
          String[] paramTypes = { String.class.getName() };
          jbossServer.invoke( jaasSecMgr, method, params, paramTypes);
          ---------- SNIP ---------- SNIP ---------- SNIP ----------

          This works perfectly for me, even fetching the list of cached Principals (method name "getAuthenticationCachePrincipals") and flushing individual Principals ("flushAuthenticationCache" overloaded with additional Principal parameter)

            Hi again,

            forgot to mention that I also use JBoss 3.2.2 with Tomcat and the DatabaseLoginModule.

              Hello,

              Now it's working.
              It was a wrong typed String in the lookup for the securitymanager.

              Thanks to all for helping...
