    Problem with JAAS and Declarative Security on JBOSS 4.2.1 GA

    fakhreldeen

      Hello,

      I am trying to implement an integration between Declarative Security and JAAS on JBOSS 4.2.1 GA. I have specified in my web.xml file that all jsp files under the directory called "security" are protected and only accessible by the role "Admin". I also specified in the web.xml file that Authentication is done by Login FORM. I then created a configuration for the DatabaseSeverLoginModule in login-config.xml, and created a servlet that uses the LoginContext to authorize the user. The Login page's form's action points to this servlet rather than j_security_check. However, it doesn't seem to work, because I can't access the secure pages, even though I enter the correct username and password. Here are my files:

      *****web.xml*****

      <servlet-name>loginservlet</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>loginservlet</servlet-class>

      ****Login.jsp*****


      <FORM name="logonForm" action="loginservlet" METHOD="POST">
      <TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding=

      <TD align="left">
      <input type="submit" value="Login">


      ****loginservlet.java*****

      try {
      SecurityAssociationHandler handler = new
      SecurityAssociationHandler();
      Principal user = new SimplePrincipal(request.getParameter("j_username"));
      handler.setSecurityInfo(user, request.getParameter("j_password"));
      LoginContext loginContext = new LoginContext("testDB",(CallbackHandler)handler);
      loginContext.login();
      Subject subject = loginContext.getSubject();
      Set principals = subject.getPrincipals();
      principals.add(user);
      out.println(subject.toString());
      //response.sendRedirect("securepage.java");
      }


      So, those are my files.....In the database, I have two tables, one table called Principals and that has the username semsem and password password1, and the other table is called roles, which has principleid = semsem, role = Admin, and rolegroup = AdminGroup. What I am trying to do, is integrate JAAS and Declarative Security, so that I don't have to programatically declare which pages are accessed by which type of user. However, When I reach the Login Form and enter the correct username and password, nothing happens, which means that after I enter the correct username and password, I am presented with the login form again....I can verify that the servlet code is correct, because I can directly visit the login page with out trying to access it by requesting a secure page, and I enter the correct username and password, and I get a print line of the subject's principals as they are in the database from the line out.println(subject.toString());, that print out is: Subject: Principal: semsem Principal: Admin(members:Admin)

      Your help is very appreciated
      Thank You
