    JAAS bug or tomcat integration?

    phantom

      Please explain me.
      I encounter with one interesting bug which prevent me from further development. Please, help me! I wrote test page. You can use it to understand the problem:

      Where:
      !YOURDOMAIN! - your security domain - please change it!
      Also JSP use users principals fro "guest" with password "guest" and "internal" with password "internal". You can change this users names too to fit your users set.

      And as a result of JSP I got:
      Curent sycurity:
      request.getUserPrincipal() phantom
      SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal() phantom
      SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal().getClass() class
      XXX.security.UserPrincipal
      SecurityAssociation.getSubject() Subject: Principal: phantom
      Principal: Roles(members:all(members),administrators(members),phantom,administrators(members))
      doAs internal:
      SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal() phantom
      SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal().getClass() class XXX.security.UserPrincipal
      SecurityAssociation.getSubject() Subject: Principal: phantom
      Principal: Roles(members:all(members),administrators(members),phantom,administrators(members))
      Curent sycurity:
      request.getUserPrincipal() phantom
      SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal() phantom
      SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal().getClass() class XXX.security.UserPrincipal
      SecurityAssociation.getSubject() Subject: Principal: phantom
       Principal: Roles(members:all(members),administrators(members),phantom,administrators(members))
      doAsPrincipal
      SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal() phantom
      SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal().getClass() class XXX.security.UserPrincipal
      SecurityAssociation.getSubject() Subject: Principal: phantom
       Principal: Roles(members:all(members),administrators(members),phantom,administrators(members))
      

      where XXX - mypackages and my custom user principal and "phantom" my user principal which i used to logon to the system.
      And as you can see: doAs didn't effect SecurityAssociation!!! Please help me! I need in doAs because we store users paramters by entity EJB and I need to have access to this EJBs from LoginModule and I think to use "internal" user to resolve this problem! Also we need to use SecurityAssociation because in our code a lot of simple java classes (not EJB or JSP pages) where we use user principals.

          We don't use the JAAS Subject based authorization mechanism initiated via Subject.doAs. Read the JAAS howto at the start of the forum to see how JAAS is used.

            Sorry, but may be I'm a fool, but I didn't find how I can execute some particular code under different principal:-( I found method SecurityAssociation.pushRunAsRole(), but it seems that this method doesn't have a effect: SecurityAssociation.getPrincipal before and after returns the same principal.

            Or please help me to resolve such problem: I want to use my entity EJBs in my particular LoginModule? Question is: when I try to invoke some method of ent.ejb from LoginModule I get SecurityException. And there is no surprise because I don't authentificate yet. To resolve this problem I used Subject.doAs methodology in weblogic server, but after switching to JBOSS server this method don't work and I'm confused and I can't find any approapriate method in JBOSS. Please help me! I read a lot of information regarding this problem in JBOSS, but I don't see a solution:(

              Are you sure that there is information on role substitution in the HOWTO? Unfortunately, I couldn't find it there. I've implemented basic login in my system (this is described in the howto), but I can't get know how should I substitute internal user (if I can't use doAs).

              Can you post a simple example of solving this problem?

                Executing code with an identity inside the server is no different than a java client outside of the server. You have to establish the caller identity with a JAAS login that uses a login configuration that includes the jboss org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule login module, as the client-login configuration entry in the conf/login-config.xml does. Here is an unsecured servlet doing a JAAS login to call a secured EJB as jduke.

                  It seems that your example don't work (JBOSS 3.2.3 +Tomcat 4).

                  Code from unsecured page:

                    You have modified the example to use the "my-domain" login configuration instead of the "client-login". As described in the JAAS howto the name passed to the LoginContext maps to the server side login-config.xml login module configuration entry that will be used for authentication. The preconfigured entry which includes the org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule is named "client-login". The ClientLoginModule must be included in any configuration called by code doing a JAAS login that wants the security context to propagate with the thread.

                        Please, tell me: is it real to restore previous login principals after lc.logout()? It seems that ClientLoginModule clearing up all Security Associations after logout. We need to have "principal stacking" possibility.

                          starksm64

                          I got the same problem when using unauthenticatedIdentity=nobody in auth.conf (also with message driven beans). When I don't use this anonymous user the login fails which I suspect it to. But what I find strange is that it doesn't even get to the login method with unauthenticatedIdentity. btw I'm using a subclass of UsernamePasswordLoginModule.
