    Authentification with JBoss.NET and DatabaseServerLoginModul

    billen

      I'm trying to enable authentification on my webservices. I am doing it this way:

      http://www.nsdev.org/jboss/stories/jboss-net.html

      It seems as if the client is sending the username and password allright. The webservice is also requesting the JAAS module, but ten something is going wrong.

      I get this error on server:

      java.sql.SQLException: Table not found: PRINCIPALS in statement [select Password from Principals where PrincipalID='billen']
       at org.hsqldb.Trace.getError(Unknown Source)
       at org.hsqldb.jdbcResultSet.<init>(Unknown Source)
       at org.hsqldb.jdbcConnection.executeStandalone(Unknown Source)
       ...


      This cant be right, cause that is NOT the prepared statement I have defined in login-config.xml. It also uses hsqldb, which again is not the datasource I have defined in login-config.xml. My login-config.xml looks like this:

      <application-policy name = "openbroad">
       <authentication>
       <login-module code = "org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule" flag = "required" />
       <module-option name="dsJndiName">java:/OpenBroadDB</module-option>
       <module-option name="principalsQuery">SELECT password FROM usertable WHERE username=?</module-option>
       <module-option name="rolesQuery">SELECT role, 'Roles' FROM userroles WHERE username=?</module-option>
       </authentication>
      </application-policy>


      I am using Jboss4dr3.

          Does the application policy "other" also have a DatabaseServerLoginModule configured to use the defaultDS?

          It looks like maybe the AxisServlet (jboss-net.war) is trying to authenticate the HTTP request against that.

          Have you set the security domain for JBoss.Net?

          It is in the jboss-net.sar/jboss-net.war/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

          By default it is set to use "other"

          you could to set it to:

          <jboss-web><security-domain>java:/jaas/openbroad</security-domain></jboss-web>


          And maybe clear up your problem.

          I have tried my JBoss.Net application (which uses the DatabaseServerLoginModule) on JBoss 4.0DR3 and it seemed to work o.k.

            Hello and thank you for your reply

            It didn't work and I still get the same error message.

            Should I post some of the code, so you can check if it is correct?

              Do you use ant?

              Then putting

              * @jboss-net.authentication
              * domain="openbroad"
              * validate-unauthenticated-calls="true"
              *
              * @jboss-net.authorization
              * domain="openbroad"

              in your (Webservice) Session Bean should do the job, which means it puts the corresponding entry in webservice.xml

                I guess you mean XDoclet? Yes I do it that way. I do it the way you can see at the link in my first post.

                  Yes, i meant xdoclet, sorry for confusion.

                  Does your webservice.xml contain lines like the following?

                   <handler type="java:org.jboss.net.axis.server.JBossAuthenticationHandler">
                   <parameter name="securityDomain" value="java:/jaas/..."/>
                   </handler>
                   <handler type="java:org.jboss.net.axis.server.JBossAuthorizationHandler">
                   <parameter name="securityDomain" value="java:/jaas/..."/>
                   <parameter name="allowedRoles" value="..."/>
                   <parameter name="deniedRoles" value="..."/>
                   </handler>

                    first thing, the dsJndiName doesn't look quite right. it should be
                    java:jaas/something
                    in your case, maybe
                    java:jaas/OpenbroadDS

                    or whatever is in your openbroad-ds.xml file in the <jndi-name> tag.

                    you might also check for any other <application-policy>s that have a DatabaseServerLoginModule in them that may be misconfigured.

                      Yes the web-service.xml file that is generated by XDoclet look like this:

                      <service name="TestService" provider="Handler">

                        Are you sure about that? JAAS is Java Authentication and Authorization Service and does not IMHO have anything to do with the datasource file.

                          Bah!

                          I meant "java:jdbc/OpenbroadDS"

                          jdbc not jaas (this alphabet soup of Sun's keeps confusing me)

                          Sorry about that.

                          At any rate the value in should match the value in your datasource definition. The will need "java:" prepended to whatever value is in the <jndi-name> tag of your xxx-ds.xml file.

                            Your xml is incorrect. It should be:

                            <application-policy name = "openbroad">
                             <authentication>
                             <login-module code = "org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule" flag = "required" >
                             <module-option name="dsJndiName">java:/OpenBroadDB</module-option>
                             <module-option name="principalsQuery">SELECT password FROM usertable WHERE username=?</module-option>
                             <module-option name="rolesQuery">SELECT role, 'Roles' FROM userroles WHERE username=?</module-option>
                             </login-module>
                             </authentication>
                            </application-policy>
