System properties usage for authentication code

[simsch]

Hello together,

i have a problem using system properties for "code" replacement in the security subsystem. But first things first.

I use the jboss 7.1.1 and the subsystem in version 1.1. I need two server instances, therefore is use the domain mode

which is working perfectly. The only problem is that i´ve code that uses two different login modules. One for each server. My configuration in the

domain.xml look like this:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:security:1.1">
    <security-domains>
        <security-domain name="vs">
            <authentication>
                <login-module code="${login.module}" flag="required" />
            </authentication>
        </security-domain>
        ...
    </security-domains>
    ...
</subsystem>

I want to archive, that every server is replacing the "login.module" property with its own parameter. I´ve used this method in another project

but somehow this is not working here. If i replace the code="" with a static parameter it works. But it´s not working with properties. Does

anybody know why this is not working?

(I tried setting the system properties at the top of the domain.xml file, at the servergroups definition and the

server definitions in the host.xml file. I also tried to define the boot-time="true" option. None of the configurations are working.)

Thanks a lot!

Not every property can use system property defined in standalone.xml or domain.xml.

You had better use direct string in standalone.xml or domain.xml.

I would recommend you using 7.2.x or WildFly 8 as we fixed lots(i think all) of expression support (sys property replacements)

Mostly all attributes should support expressions except for

- name attributes

- any attribute that relates to module name

- any attribute that relates class name

- any attribute that is reference to another part of model

in your case, code attribute is class name and as such does not support expressions.

Thanks for your suggestion.

But WildFly is just a alpha version. I like final version better.

Hello Tomaz,

thanks a lot for your reply. I´ve to stick with the jboss 7.1.1 final release because of decisions i´m not able to change.

But anyways it´s not that bad because in my case it would not work anyway.
