    form based auth & DatabaseServerLoginModule

    javaprogrammer

      Hello to everyone. First of all sorry for my english :)

      I have a problem. I'm using DatabaseServerLoginModule and form based authentification in my develop. first servlet executing login and if everything is ok it's redirect to other servlet. In this servlet i'm trying to request.getUserPrincipal(). It's null. Why?
      Here is my souces:

      ********login-config.xml*****
      <application-policy name = "UserPolicy">

      <login-module code = "org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule" flag = "required">
      <module-option name = "dsJndiName">java:/FirebirdDS</module-option>
      <module-option name = "principalsQuery">SELECT PASS FROM users WHERE LOGIN=?</module-option>
      <module-option name = "rolesQuery">SELECT ROLE, 'Roles' FROM users WHERE LOGIN=?</module-option>
      <module-option name = "unauthenticatedIdentity">anonymouse</module-option>
      </login-module>

      </application-policy>

      }
      catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Authentication failed: " + e.getMessage());
      } System.out.println("loginservletuser: " + user);
      ...
      **********************************************
      if everything ok, it redirects to other servlet in which i have
      ...
      Principal user1 = request.getUserPrincipal();
      ...
      and it's = null. Because of this I don't have any roles and I can't get access to my beans.

      Please, ive some ideas about it!!!!!
      P.S. With Best regards :)

      and who can tell how create object Principal from object Subject?

          String login = request.getParameter("j_username");
          String password = request.getParameter("j_password");

          Check these strings, there null. It's not possible to retrieve these values :-(
          I'm stucked here as well

            I checked yhis parameters by System.out. It's not a null. login method executed successful. when I' m redirectin to other servlet there method getUserPrincipal returns null.

              You don't implement a servlet that retrieves the login creditials. The servlet container intercepts the j_security_check post and initiates the login with the login module you configure automatically.

              Check your query 'Roles' should be "Roles" don't ask why I don't know.

              Add this to the log4j.xml file in your default servers conf directory,



              This should add some logging to your server.log file located in the logs directory. That may help you diagnose what is really going wrong.

              A successful login will result in a log that looks like this:
