    Peer address from LoginModule

    carl-johan.persson

      Hi,

      Building a LoginModule in Jboss base class AbstractServerLoginModule and need to get client peer address IP from within 'login' method?

          Not a straightforward way. But there was a post earlier, that advises users to use interceptor pairs on client & server. Client interceptor captures ip address in addition to login & sends that across to server interceptor pair.

            Custom LoginModule is driven by Web Service's . I can see earlier on call stack that hostName and protocol can be found in LoginContext:

            Now I am trying to create LoginContext in CustomLoginModule::initialize(Subject subject, CallbackHandler callbackHandler,
            Map sharedState, Map options)
            {
            super.initialize(subject, callbackHandler, sharedState, options);
            this.subject = subject;
            try {
            loginContext = new LoginContext("MySP", subject, callbackHandler);
            } catch (LoginException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(DatabaseServerLoginModule.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }

            But it does not give client ip.

            Maybe there is some abstraction on Jboss Remote for getting client ip ?

              A (maybe not very good) way for getting client ip

              Thread.currentThread().getName()

              Name string is in format "someworkerthreadname#[127.0.0.1:1867]"

              and parse that string

                Have you succeeded to retrieve client IP on login module? I mean in normal API way, other then parsing thread name :)

                  As in FAQ, maybe u can get access to the servlet req in the LM and get the IP
