Hi Wolfgang, and thanks for your reply.

I'm using JBoss 5.1.0.GA and I just read the thread you linked and I think we have the same issue. I modified the code to use the .setClient() but it didnt work. Here is a snippet of the code I use to do the login:

 
      SecurityClient securedClient = null;
      try {
           SecurityContextAssociation.setClient();
           securedClient = SecurityClientFactory.getSecurityClient();
           securedClient.setSimple(userLogin, password);
           securedClient.login();
      } catch (Exception e) {
           securedClient.logout();
      }
 

Also, I'm trying to configure this:   

     org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule required
     multi-threaded=false;

But I cant find where should I do that.

Hello again!

I used the SecurityContextAssociation.setClient(); before I call SecurityClientFactory.getSecurityClient(); and had no luck, then I created an auth.conf file and put it into my resources and it didnt seem to work either. Dunno if I have to do anything else other than just creating the file.

Inside the auth.conf is:

jmx-console {
    org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule required;
    multi-threaded=false;
};
 

EDIT: I haven't tried yet the JAAS login you suggested above

Hi again,

I tried to use the JAAS login but I get an exception and it won't even login now... It seems like if it isn't recognizing the security domain I specify as the first parameter 'cuz it throws and execption when I initialize the LoginContext Object.

I did set the system property "org.jboss.security.context.ThreadLocal=false" with System.setProperty("org.jboss.security.context.ThreadLocal", "false"); but the problem is still there.

Well I finally tried the JAAS login with the suggested auth.conf and still have the same problem: I can login in the main thread but the authentitation is ost in its children threads.

Here is the code that does the login:

     System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config","conf/auth.conf");

     System.setProperty("org.jboss.security.context.ThreadLocal", "false");

      SecurityAssociationHandler handler = new SecurityAssociationHandler();

                                            SimplePrincipal userJAAS = new SimplePrincipal(user);

                                            handler.setSecurityInfo(userJAAS, password);

                                            LoginContext loginContext =

                                             new LoginContext("jmx-console",

                                                          (CallbackHandler) handler);

//                                            SecurityContextAssociation.setClient();

                                            loginContext.login();

I really dunno what is wrong since apparently everything is "fine", I really appreciate any help or guidance anyone could give.

Thanks in advance.
