    Facing JAAS issue while moving from Jboss 4 to 5.0.1

    sonu1311

      Hi,

       

      The next issue now I am facing is an authentcation exception when trying to access an EJB which is protected by roles and oauthorized via custom jaas login depending upon the user roles in the Database.

       

      Error I am getting :

      2011-06-21 12:58:52,193 ERROR [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.SecurityInterceptor] (main) Error in Security Interceptor

      Here is the code:

      SyncUtils.jaasLogin(Constants.INTERNAL_APPLICATION_USER, SyncUtils.getPassword(Constants.INTERNAL_APPLICATION_USER));
      ctx = new InitialContext()

      SystemProfileHome home = (SystemProfileHome)ctx.lookup(SystemProfileHome.class.getName());
      SystemProfileEB eb = home.findByPrimaryKey(new SystemProfilePK(1));

       

      We are useing the jboss jaas client-module to set the uname and its password and then call find by primary key on entity bean. Unfortunately in Jboss 5 the custom jaas login module is not getting the uname and pwd from the callbackhandler as they are returned as null.

       

      Again this works fine in Jboss 4.0.3.

       

      Looking forward to hear your thoughts and thanks for any help in advance.

          Hi,

           

          could you provide more detail about your implementation (mainly the content of "SyncUtils.jaasLogin" and your security config)?

           

          You might activate logging of the security layer. See here (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SecurityFAQ), question 4.

           

          Best regards

            SyncUtils.jassLogin :

              public static boolean jaasLogin(String username, String password)
              {
                boolean retVal = false;

                try
                {
                  LoginContext loginContext = new LoginContext("client-login", new LoginCallbackHandler(username, password));
                  loginContext.login();

                  retVal = true;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                  log("UT:SUT.jaasLogin",Logger.LOG_TRACE,0,0,"Unable to login to JAAS",ex,null);
                }

                return retVal;
              }

            --------

             

            After I enbaled the tracing:

            Basically I wants the username, password passed to jboss 'client-login' module should passed to my  (in non-interactive way) custom login module 'sync-login' in which I get the username and password from the callbackhandler and get the assigned roles from the database but the username and password used in 'client-login' are coming null in 'sync-login' which is the security domain declared in jboss.xml for the ejb as    <security-domain>java:/jaas/sync-login</security-domain>

             

            Again this works in Jboss 4.

             

            One difference I noticed is the callback handler class is different:

            in Jboss 5

            - 2011-06-21 16:49:35,892 DEBUG [org.jboss.security.plugins.JaasSecurityManagerService] (main) CallbackHandlerClass=class org.jboss.security.auth.callback.JBossCallbackHandler

            In Jboss 4 -

            2011-06-21 12:13:33,990 DEBUG [JaasSecurityManagerService] CallbackHandlerClass=class org.jboss.security.auth.callback.SecurityAssociationHandler

             

            thanks

              Could you post also the code of "sync.server.system.SyncServerLoginModule"?

               

              Some time ago, I had a login module (but also for AS 4.x, I never needed to update it for AS 5). Maybe this "inspires" you ;-):

               

               

              {code}

              public class MyLoginModule extends UsernamePasswordLoginModule

              {

                ...

               

                public void initialize(Subject subject, CallbackHandler callbackHandler, Map sharedState, Map options)

                {

                  super.initialize(subject, callbackHandler, sharedState, options);

                 

                  ...get e.g. datasource

               

                }

               

                protected Group[] getRoleSets() throws LoginException

                {

                  try

                  {

                    Group[] groups = { new SimpleGroup("Roles") };

               

                    String sUserName = super.getUsername();

                    //We have two possible roles: "customer" and "admin".

                    if (sUserName is customer...)

                    {

                      SimplePrincipal role = new SimplePrincipal("customer");

                      groups[0].addMember(role);

                      return groups;

                    }

                    else if (sUserName is admin...)

                    {

                      SimplePrincipal role = new SimplePrincipal("admin");

                      groups[0].addMember(role);

                      return groups;

                    }

                    else

                    {

                      ...error

                    }

                  }

                  catch (SQLException e)

                  {

                    log.error("Error in getUsersPassword for User " + super.getUsername(), e);

                    throw new LoginException(e.getMessage());

                  }

                }

               

                protected String getUsersPassword() throws LoginException

                {

                  try

                  {

                    //Get password for current username

                    String strUserName = super.getUsername());

                    ...find password for User and return it...

                  }

                  catch (SQLException e)

                  {

                    log.error("Error in getUsersPassword for User " + super.getUsername(), e);

                    throw new LoginException(e.getMessage());

                  }

                }

              }

              {code}

                  Hi,

                   

                  it seems you adopted the code of the "UserNamePasswordLoginModule" (e.g. this http://www.docjar.com/html/api/org/jboss/security/auth/spi/UsernamePasswordLoginModule.java.html )

                  Maybe it helps to subclass "AbstractServerLoginModule" instead of just implementing the interface? Then e.g. "initialize" should call the base class method first.

                   

                  And I think your code might become much shorter if you follow my approach and subclass "UsernamePasswordLoginModule". Now username and password will be provided by the framework and your code will become much shorter.

                   

                  Best regards

                    Thanks, I will try and let you know.

                      Hi,

                       

                      I tried it and it didn't work. I am still debugging it and even tried latest Jboss 6 GA with jdk 1.6.0.26 but no succes yet though I compared and found some thing on Jboss 4.0.3 where its working fine.

                       

                      In JBoss 4 on tracing I found this when ClientLoginModule is passed and commit is called:

                       

                      TRACE [ClientLoginModule] End login
                      TRACE [ClientLoginModule] commit, subject=Subject:

                       

                      ---

                      TRACE [SecurityAssociation] pushSubjectContext, subject=Subject:, sc=org.jboss.security.SecurityAssociation$SubjectContext@10d75a3{principal=SessionTimer1,subject=10892380}

                      TRACE [SecurityAssociation] getPrincipal, principal=SessionTimer1
                      ----

                       

                      But the above two lines doesn't appear on Jboss 5 or 6 so I think that is why the my custom jass login does not see user name and password which should have been propagated after clientloginmodule is through.

                       

                      Can you review this and you may know if I am missing any important setting here?

                       

                      Thanks.

                        Sorry, I don't have much more ideas I have to admit.

                         

                        I assume that you modified your login module. Could you post the current code?

                         

                        As you seem to keep username and password in a database table: any chance to just kick your login module and use the JBoss built-in module "org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule"? You might take a look e.g. at this document for an overview: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/4.2/html/Server_Configuration_Guide/Using_JBoss_Login_Modules-DatabaseServerLoginModule.html (a bit older, but the content is still valid, though "login-config.xml" can be considered deprecated.

                         

                        If possible, you might modify your database structure for testing it with this login module.

                         

                        Best regards
