    Problem loading Web-Console AppletBrowser after Securing Con

    johnholmes123

      All,

      Ive secured the jmx-console and web-console for Jboss5. Jmx works great, accepts uid/password, and the web-console is accepting my uid/password, but when accessing it, the navtree.AppletBrowser fails to load.... and I see this error returned:

      Here's what ive changed, please let me know what's wrong?

      1. Edit file $JBOSSHOME/server/default/deploy/jmx-console.war/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

      <!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC
       "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN"
       "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd">
      
      <jboss-web>
       <!-- Uncomment the security-domain to enable security. You will
       need to edit the htmladaptor login configuration to setup the
       login modules used to authentication users. -->
       <security-domain>java:/jaas/jmx-console</security-domain>
      </jboss-web>
      


      2. Edit file $JBOSSHOME/server/default/deploy/jmx-console.war/WEB-INF/web.xml

      <!-- A security constraint that restricts access to the HTML JMX console
       to users with the role JBossAdmin. Edit the roles to what you want and
       uncomment the WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml/security-domain element to enable
       secured access to the HTML JMX console. -->
       <security-constraint>
       <web-resource-collection>
       <web-resource-name>HtmlAdaptor</web-resource-name>
       <description>An example security config that only allows users with the
       role JBossAdmin to access the HTML JMX console web application
       </description>
       <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
       <http-method>GET</http-method>
       <http-method>POST</http-method>
       </web-resource-collection>
       <auth-constraint>
       <role-name>JBossAdmin</role-name>
       </auth-constraint>
       </security-constraint>
      


      3. Edit/create files $JBOSSHOME/server/default/conf:
      jmx-console-users.properties
      jmx-console-roles.properties
      web-console-roles.properties
      web-console-users.properties

      set the admin user/pass, edit the login-config.xml and point the web-console to props/

      At this point after a restart the jmx console will prompt for a uid/password but the web-console will not. So I edit these files, make the same changes as above step 1-2:

      4. Edit:
      $JBOSSHOME/server/default/deploy/management/console-mgr.sar/web-console.war/WEB-INF

      jboss-web.xml & web.xml
