    principal=null problem only on AIX

    jayhowell Aug 30, 2002 5:52 PM

      We have deployed this application on multiple sun boxes and everything works great. We have now deployed on an AIX box(version 4.33 running AIX JDK 1.3.1) and the same files don't appear to work. I have moved to another AIX box and have experienced the same behavior. It's really creepy, because this shouldn't happen, unless there is something wrong with the AIX JVM. Does anyone have JAAS working with AIX. Please look at the configuration files provided and tell me if you see anything wrong with them. They work fine on Solaris running 1.3.1 SDK from Sun. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Here is a snippet the error that I'm getting.

            I forgot to mention, this happens during deployment of an ear file. Jay:)

              I finally tracked the problem down. The problem is a classpath issue. I turned the trace on, the error message is only available through the trace, and I found that the error is thrown when trying to instantiate the org.jboss.resource.security.ConfiguredIdentityLoginModule class. This instantiation happens in the LoginContext class, which is part of the javax security api. The class can not be found in the classpath. I'm not sure why the classloader picks this up in Windows and Solaris, but It doesn't pick it up in AIX. I tried to put this class and a couple others in a classpath. I kept adding until I ran into problems with the other classes not being found by the classloader. I did get past the first error. I belive it has something to do with the URL classloader, but I'm just guessing. If anyone has run into this or has a work around, please sent it to me. I have been able to reproduce this problem on 3.0.0RC3, 3.0.1, and 3.0.2. If anyone knows how jboss handles classloaders and what is accessible through the classloaders, please tell me. Thanks, Jay:)
