Client Authentication

[overma]

Hello All,

This might be more appropriate for the beginner's section, but it is security related. Anyways, here's my situation.

I am working on a thick-client application that utilizes JBoss for JMS. I have an appropriate database login module setup for that in my login-config.xml that works beautifully. However, I would like to implement an authentication scheme at application start up instead of just at initializing the JMS. What I am trying to figure out is how to point my login logic on the client to the already configured authentication policy in login-config.

I have briefly looked into a lot of the JAAS documentation, but a lot of that seems more appropriate to applications sitting on the server as apposed to separate clients. Anyways, any hints, links or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

take a look at the FAQ ( http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/SecurityFAQ ), question 10. This shows how to perform a login from an application client.

Hope this helps
