different passwords for different connections

nlmarco Feb 25, 2004 1:02 PM

Hello *!

I'm having the following scenario: One client connects to one jboss server and instanciates a session bean. This sessionbean can now communicate to many other jboss servers (including localhost). For every connection, different usernames/passwords are required.

When I'm writing the client side, I'm defining a LoginContext and I write an own ClientLoginModule. But I never link this LoginContext to my InitialContext. Thus, I don't understand, from where does JAAS know that it should use this LoginContext? And if I define more than one LoginContext, how does JAAS know which InitialContext should use which LoginContext?

Thousand thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards, Marco.

Read the following JAAS intro to get an understanding of how JAAS is used in JBoss:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=18240&group_id=22866

There is no connection between a client IntialContext and LoginContext unless you are using the org.jboss.security.jndi.LoginInitialContextFactory which does a JAAS login using the username, password and configuration name coming from the Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL InitialContext env setting.
