Hi,
I am developing a web application with authentication based in JAAS. I have used used JBoss EAP for deployment and testing. The following is the security domain configuration
<security-domain name="myrealm">
<authentication>
<login-module code="Database" flag="required">
<module-option name="dsJndiName" value="java:/jdbc/authen-user"/>
<module-option name="principalsQuery" value="select password from AuthenticationUser where name = ?"/>
<module-option name="rolesQuery" value="select groupName,'Roles' from AuthenticationUser where name=?"/>
<module-option name="hashAlgorithm" value="SHA-512"/>
<module-option name="hashEncoding" value="BASE64"/>
</login-module>
</authentication>
</security-domain>
The authentication always fails saying wrong password. When debugging into this issue more, it seems org.jboss.security.Base64Encoder#process(..) method is adding an line spacing(\n) at 76th character position.
The version of EAP I am using is 6.4.0. Is there any bug raised for this error? It seems like a bug to me!
