Hi All,
I have written my own custom login module which is working fine. This returns a custom principal instead of the SimplePrincipal which has an additional organisation attribute.
However I was thinking in my EJB I could cast down to my custom principal and access the organisation accessor. e.g
CustomPrincipal caller = (CustomPrincipal)(this.sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal());
Logger.info(caller.getOrganisation());
However I am getting a classcast exception as it appears I am still using SimplePrincipal.
I think I I need to amend the ClientLoginModule to return this as well. Is this what everyone would expect?
I have looked at the code for the ClientLoginModule and I assume I need to create a new callback to gather the organisation, construct my custom principal and provide this in the SecurityAssociation.setPrincipal call.
However I am unsure if I need to invoke SecurityAssociation.setCredential(password) why is this used?
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards
Lea.
The client login module has no bearing on the principal type seen on the server side. See:
