LdapLoginModule and role attribute not retrieved

[l.pasquinelli]

Hi all,

It's about 2 days that i'm not able to resolve this problem. I'm trying to configure jboss to work with a webapplication that actually run under tomcat 5.5, but i'm not able to to configure LdapLoginModule.
The page that should appear after login is in a protected area associated with a role "Cataloguer". This role is associated in LDAP tree, as an attribute of each users as value of field initials.

When I try to login I receive an error 403 as the user isn't in the correct role.

I trace in a public jsp request.getUserPrincipal().getName() and request.isUserInRole("Cataloguer"), and I call this page after my login. I see that the user Principal is correct but the condition isUserInRole return false.

I activate trace information in log4j.xml for category "org.jboss.security.auth.spi" and this is the output .

My application define 4 private area, each of them are associated to a role; in my LDAP role information is the attribute "initials" of the user.

I configure an application policy under login-config.xml

<application-policy name="ldap-pdil">

<!--<login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapLoginModule" flag="required">-->
<login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapExtLoginModule" flag="required">-->
<module-option name="java.naming.factory.initial">com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory</module-option>
<module-option name="java.naming.provider.url">ldap://localhost:389/</module-option>
<module-option name="java.naming.security.authentication">simple</module-option>
<module-option name="java.naming.security.principal">cn=Manager,dc=mycompany,dc=com/module-option>
<module-option name="java.naming.security.credentials">secret</module-option>
<module-option name="principalDNPrefix">cn=</module-option>
<module-option name="principalDNSuffix">,ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=com</module-option>
<module-option name="matchOnUserDN">true</module-option>
<module-option name="roleAttributeID">initials</module-option>
<module-option name="roleAttributeIsDN">false</module-option>
<module-option name="allowEmptyPasswords">false</module-option>
</login-module>

</application-policy>


and i referenced it in my login module

<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<realm-name>ldap-pdil</realm-name>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/errors/loginFailedError.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>


I think that i don't configure correctly these module option "matchOnUserDN", "roleAttributeID", "roleAttributeIsDN" : I try different value but the result is the same!

Some one can help me?

Why the user successfully login, but no role information are available?

I'm having similar issues with the 403 error. But I did notice one issue with your application-policy.

This:
<module-option name="java.naming.security.principal">cn=Manager,dc=mycompany,dc=com/module-option>

Should be this:
<module-option name="java.naming.security.principal">cn=Manager,dc=mycompany,dc=com</module-option>

Not sure if that is your total problem but I would think not having a correct closing tag would casue some issue(s).

I wondering if either of you found the answer, because I am seeing the same thing in a very similar configuration...

Thanks,
Dave
