Authentication for Connections

[gseel]

Have now advanced to attempting to get a connection for the Pointbase DB based datasource.

Whether I use getConnection with no params or with user and password, I get an 'Invalid authentication attempt principal=null' message and the stack trace shows that org.jboss.ejb.plugins.JaasSecurityManager has been called and that no users.properties file had been found.

I have set up ManagedConnectionFactoryProperties to include Username and Password, which I thought caused default logins rather than through JAAS. Are there other steps I need to take to achieve this?

Thanks.

Take out the realm info and the jaas mbean reference if its there.

Thanks.

Being stupid again. If I comment out the <applicationpolicy name=PointbaseDBRealm> part of my pointbase-service.xml it fails to deploy. If I comment JAAS mbean out of jboss-service.xml various other mbeans claim they depend on it.

Can you elaborate a bit on your suggestions? Know I should buy some docco but at the moment I'm just evaluating JBoss for a client.

The 3.0 config files are very messy, sorry.

The applciationpolicy example in the db-service.xml file is inside a comment, so removing it will have no effect. What you need to do is remove the ... element and the <depends optional-attribute-name="JaasSecurityManagerService">jboss.security:service=JaasSecurityManager

element from the db-service.xml file.

I don't know if this is documented in the for-pay docs.

Cracked it. Many thanks.
