Custom Principal classes and EJBContext.getCallerPrincipal()

[fabiogsilva]

Hi,

I'm creating a custom JAAS authentication module, by extending AbstractServerLoginModule, to integrate in a EJB 3.0 layer. During authentication, I assign objects to the user's Subject that are instances of custom Principal classes I wrote to represent users and roles in my system. It works fine, and I can retrive the authenticated Subject with the right objects by calling SecurityAssociation.getSubject() from my EJB's.

However, using injected EJBContext instances, the method getCallerPrincipal() always returns an instance of SimplePrincipal, which contains only the username.
Is there a way to get this method to return the same Principal object reference that was assigned to the Subject during authentication?

Thanks in advance.

I am presuming that you have followed the wiki link for Custom Principals as outlined here:

Ensure that you have the latest version of JBoss AS (which would have the most recent EJB3 implementation). After this, if you can reproduce the issue with a JUnit Test, then you can file a JIRA issue for the EJB3 team to take a look at.

I'm sorry, I hadn't added a CallerPrincipal group to the role sets.
It works now.

Thanks very much.
