EJB authentication problem when accessing SEAM component fro

alllle Nov 29, 2007 5:54 PM

Using SEAM 2.0.0GA on JBoss AS 4.2.2GA.

My SEAM components are packaged in a JAR that is configured to use a security policy in the META-INF/jboss.xml file of the JAR as follows:

<jboss>
 <security-domain>mySecurityDomain</security-domain>
</jboss>

This security domain is using a customer LoginModule that authenticates against the supplied username and password. Both local and remote client of the EJB will specify the username and password when creating the InitialContext to lookup the EJB.

The problem is, I don't know how to instruct the SEAM to include the username and password when SEAM tries to lookup the EJB via JNDI, as the EJB is referenced from my view .xhtml file.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

I can't see an easy way to do this with Seam.

What I did as a solution is to create a separate jar for the SEAM action EJB's which are accessed only via local interfaces. There is no security constraints specified for this jar file and therefore, won't trigger the exception.
