How does the Authorization delegate access the sharedState?

barramundi Feb 15, 2008 6:23 AM

With JBoss 5.x authorization module is now available.
However, how does the authorization delegate access the sharedState which is located at the Authorization module?

For example, how can the authorization delegate get back the variables set by the authentication module like below :

sharedState.put("javax.security.auth.login.name", username);
sharedState.put("javax.security.auth.login.password", password);

(sharedState is a java.util.Map object in the login module and az module)

Found a way by using Authenticator to set an attribute to HttpSession in Request object and getting back the attribute in Authorization Delegate class via WebResource's getServletRequest()

Still couldn't find a way for Authentication Module to do this.

Said too soon, the EJB Authorization Delegate could not retrieve Request object since the Resource instance is that of EJBResource

Anyway for the EJB Authorization Delegate to retrieve the Request object?
or
Anyway to pass something to the EJB Authorization Delegate from Authentication?

Workaround the problem by using custom Principal in Login Module.
