    JAAS and OpenLdap configuration

    jej2003

      I am trying to setup a JAAS Domain to authenticate against an LDAP server, but I keep getting [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials]. Can anyone help shed some light on this? The googling I did seemed to point to the java.naming.security.principal being wrong, but it is not. Any help would be appreciated.

          So I switched to the LdapExtLoginModule and I have this working, but I am seeing some unexpected behavior.

          I have 2 groups, Administrators and Users. I have a user that is a member of only one of those groups, in this case Administrators. If I have a function that has the @RolesAllowed={"Administrators", "Users"} I get a permission denied complaining that the user does not have the RequiredRoles. It seems as if the LdapExtLoginModule is requiring the user to be a member of both groups instead of just 1 which is the opposite of what the UsersRolesLoginModule does which will work if the user is a member of either. Is there a way to force these two Modules to act the same?

            my mistake, wrong annotation. Works as expected!
