    JAAS not prompting for username pwd on Linux 3 with JBoss4.0

      Hi,

      JAAS is not working on Linux, I deployed the application in JBoss, but it is bypassing the security manager and directly going to welcome/home page. It never prompts for the username and password. and not throwing any error also.

      But the same application war file, without changing anything, if i deploy on Windows system, it works fine.

      Here is the system details :

      Linux System Info :

      RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 (Update 4)
      Kernal Version : 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp

      JBoss Version
      jboss-4.0.3-sp1.1.EL30.i386.rpm

      JDK Version
      ibm-java2-i386-sdk-5.0-0.0.i386.rpm

      To test it, i even tested with sample jaas application.

      In login-config.xml


      <application-policy name = "jaasproject">
       <authentication>
       <login-module code = "org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule"
       flag = "required">
       </login-module>
       <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsersRolesLoginModule"
       flag = "required">
       <module-option name="usersProperties">users.properties</module-option>
       <module-option name="rolesProperties">roles.properties</module-option>
       </login-module>
       </authentication>
       </application-policy>



      In JBOSS_HOME/client/auth.conf file

      jaasproject
      {
      org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule required;
      org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsersRolesLoginModule required;
      };



      In JBOSS_HOME/server/standard/conf/auth.conf file

      jaasproject
      {
      org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule required;
      org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsersRolesLoginModule required;
      };




      In jboss-web.xml file

      <jboss-web>
       <security-domain>java:/jaas/jaasproject</security-domain>
       <context-root>/jaasproject</context-root>
      </jboss-web>

      users.properties, This and roles properties files i placed in WEB-INF/classes folder and also in /standard/conf/props folder

      venu=venu@1234
      gopal=gopal@1234


      and roles.properties

      venu=ReadOnly,FullAccess
      venu.Roles=ReadOnly,FullAccess
      gopal=ReadOnly
      gopal.Roles=ReadOnly



      Above are the configurations, This works fine in Windows system with all versions of the JBosss.

      But it is not working, and simply going to welcome page without prompting for username and password on Linux Server.

      I even tried with other JBoss 4.0.1 rpm package also.

      Do i need to do any extra configuration on Linux and JBoss ??

      Can anybody please help ??

      Apreciate your help

      Thanks in advance....
