Tomcat MemoryRealm

[justin_sane]

I have a project in Tomcat 5.5 that i want to migrate to JBoss.
I have an authentication using tomcat's default MemoryRealm (conf/tomcat-users.xml).
Is there anyway that I can implement this whitin JBoss or do I have to redefine it, and use JAAS?

Just provide two properties files under the conf directory.

users.properties
the following format:
username=passwd

roles.properties
username=role1,role2

Tell me if that works.

And how do I define the realm?

In jboss\server\default\conf\login-config.xml, like:
<application-policy name="userDatabase">

<login-module code="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory" flag="required">
<module-option name="usersProperties">props/users.properties</module-option>
<module-option name="rolesProperties">props/roles.properties</module-option>
</login-module>

</application-policy>

Or just copy/past what I had in conf/server.xml in Tomcat alone?

You do not have to define anything. Basically the security domain defaults to "other" which has a UserRolesLoginModule which by default looks for these properties files.
