[Active Directory authentication][Database authorisation]

[mewkiba]

Hi All,

I am new to wildfly and want to activate Active Directory authentication from wildfly 18.

The roles are store in a database, so authorisation is handled in Database.

With previous releases, this was possible with two modules in the security-domain (one LdapExtended and one Database)

Can someone point me to a good documentation to configure the same with wildfly 18?

Thanks in advance & Best regards.

As well LDAP as Database authorization is possible in Wildfly. Please see WildFly Elytron Security for more information

Hi Wolfgang,

I just read the documentation. I saw we can do database authentication and authaurization with Elytron on wildfly.

But, what i want is to do authentication with active directory and authorization with database. In the documentation there is way to create additional principal-query with attribute-mapping to obtain additional authaurization informations, but i don't see if it is possible to point it to another realm (surely i missed something, because with wildfly 10, i was able to do it using to different login-module in the same security domain).

Best regards

Did you also go thru chapter "11. Migrate Legacy Security to Elytron Security"
It is possible to take a previously defined PicketBox security domain and expose it as an Elytron security realm

Ok. I will review this part.

Thank you.

We use something like the following

<subsystem xmlns="urn:wildfly:elytron:8.0" final-providers="combined-providers" disallowed-providers="OracleUcrypto">

  <security-domains>
  <security-domain name="ApplicationDomain" default-realm="acme-realm" permission-mapper="default-permission-mapper" security-event-listener="local-audit">
  <realm name="acme-realm"/>
  </security-domain>
  <security-domain name="ManagementDomain" default-realm="acme-realm" permission-mapper="default-permission-mapper">
  <realm name="acme-realm"/>
  </security-domain>
  </security-domains>
  <security-realms>
  <identity-realm name="local" identity="$local"/>
  <ldap-realm name="ldap-authentication-realm" dir-context="acme-com" direct-verification="true">
  <identity-mapping rdn-identifier="samAccountName" search-base-dn="DC=acme,DC=com" use-recursive-search="true">
  </identity-mapping>
  </ldap-realm>
  <jdbc-realm name="jdbc-authorization-realm">
  <principal-query data-source="AcmeDS" sql="SELECT securityrole FROM users WHERE userid = ?">
  <attribute-mapping>
  <attribute to="Roles" index="1" />
  </attribute-mapping>
  </principal-query>
  </jdbc-realm>
  <aggregate-realm name="acme-realm" authentication-realm="ldap-authentication-realm" authorization-realm="jdbc-authorization-realm"/>
  </security-realms>
  <dir-contexts>
  <dir-context name="acme-com" url="ldaps://acme.com:636" principal="ACME\techuser" ssl-context="..." referral-mode="follow" enable-connection-pooling="true">
  <credential-reference .../>
