    Seam authentication module problem

    carlos.abreu

      Hy i´m facing some problems when i try to set my Authentication module.

      1) I can´t execute the autentication method without setting the parameters value, like folows:

      public boolean authenticate(String username, String password, Set<String> roles)
      


      2) The Identity Class from the Seam Framework is returning null when i try to obtain the user password

      Identity.instance().getPassword()
      


      3) The Identity Class from the Seam Framework doesn´t have the addRole method:

      Identity.instance().addRole(user.getUserRole().getRoleDesc());
      


      I am reading the seam tutorial about security modules(http://docs.jboss.com/seam/latest/reference/en/html/security.html#d0e6331).

      Can anyone know what is happening ?

      Thanks in advance

            Humm... Allright, my configuration files is:

            login.page.xml

            <!DOCTYPE page PUBLIC
             "-//JBoss/Seam Pages Configuration DTD 1.1//EN"
             "http://jboss.com/products/seam/pages-1.1.dtd">
            
            <page>
             <navigation from-action="#{identity.login}">
             <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn}">
             <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml"/>
             </rule>
             </navigation>
            </page>
            



            components.xml
             <drools:rule-base name="securityRules">
             <drools:rule-files><value>/security.drl</value></drools:rule-files>
             </drools:rule-base>
            
             <security:identity authenticate-method="#{authenticator.authenticate}" />
            


            All the others configurations is using the default generated by seam gen.

            My login page is using this code:

            
             <h:form>
            
             <div class="dialog">
             <div class="prop">
             <span class="name">Username</span>
             <span class="value">
             <h:inputText id="username" value="#{identity.username}"/>
             </span>
             </div>
             <div class="prop">
             <span class="name">Password</span>
             <span class="value">
             <h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{identity.password}"/>
             </span>
             </div>
             </div>
            
             <div class="actionButtons">
             <h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{identity.login}"/>
             </div>
            
             </h:form>
            


            Thanks.

              Your authenticate method has the wrong signature. It should accept no parameters, and instead refer to the username and password in Identity.

                Hy Shane, yes that is correct my authenticate method only work passing the parameters... If i let without it, i can´t recover the user password using the Identity.instance().getPassword(), always returns null.

                My other doubt is about the addRole method, this method doesn´t exist in the class org.jboss.seam.security.Identity

                Thanks...

                  I found the problem, the SEAM integration with JAAS only works with SEAM 1.2.

                  I sugest to inform what is the version of SEAM the example will work on the http://docs.jboss.com/seam/latest/reference/en/html/security.html page.

                  Thanks
