Principal is always passed as null

[vinay_ven]

Hi,

I have written a custom login module that extends UsernamePasswordLoginModule.

i've a java client that makes a call to an ejb.

i set the user credentials and the other properties required

-Djava.naming.security.principal=test -Djava.naming.security.credentials=test

-Djava.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory -Djava.naming.provider.url=jnp://127.0.0.1:1099

i then call the java client with all the -D options, but when the create method on the home object is called a Null pointer exception is thrown stating that the principal is null. i also set the options in a Properties class and passed it to the InitialContext but to no avail.

i;ve got the client login module in my login-conf entry as well

<application-policy name="imagine">

<login-module code="security.jaas.ZephyrSecurityModule" flag="required">
<module-option name = "rolesQuery">{? = call ENTITY_MANAGEMENT.GET_ROLES(?)}</module-option>
</login-module>

<login-module code = "org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule" flag = "required"> <module-option name = "password-stacking">useFirstPass</module-option>
<module-option name = "restore-login-identity">true</module-option>
</login-module>

</application-policy>


can anyone please tell me if i 've got my configs wrong?

Thanks
Vinay

See:

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=LoginInitialContextFactory
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JndiLoginInitialContextFactory

for InitialContextFactory implementations that accept credentials from the jndi env. The org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory does not.
