Hi list, I'm reposting this in the hope that I'll get closer to aresolution than the last time. To recap, I'm having trouble with JAAS; specifically, authentication works, but authorization does not (details below). Could someone please give me a pointer as to have I might proceed to patch the authorizationPlugin code to get more details on what is going on, as suggested by James below?
Any advice would be much appreciated! /Johan -----Original Message----- From: Johan Hallgren Sent: Fri 4/28/2006 8:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Trouble getting JAAS authorization to work with ActiveMQ-4.0-RC2 James, Thanks for your suggestions. Before attempting a work-around, I would like to put some more effort into fixing the problem outright, if any. To that end, I turned on the console debugging at level DEBUG and found that it seems to at least find my users.properties and groups.properties files. These are the relevant lines at broker startup: DEBUG PropertiesLoginModule - Initialized debug=true usersFile=users.properties groupsFile=groups.properties basedir=/usr/local/activemq/lib DEBUG PropertiesLoginModule - login myuser DEBUG PropertiesLoginModule - commit However, when sending a message to a (as yet uncreated) queue (with an arbitrary queue name), I immediately thereafter see: INFO Service - Sync error occurred: java.lang.SecurityException: User myser is not authorized to create: topic://ActiveMQ.Advisory.Connection java.lang.SecurityException: User ksngf is not authorized to create: topic://ActiveMQ.Advisory.Connection ...and a stack trace after that. Since myuser is in the admins group and I have "<authorizationEntry queue=">" read="admins" write="admins" admin="admins" />" in activemq.xml, I'm assuming that this should work. Please let me know where I can patch the code to add relevant logging to more closely observe the error. Obviously, I'd be happy to provide whatever assistance I can in getting it resolved. /Johan -----Original Message----- From: James Strachan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 4/27/2006 11:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Trouble geting JAAS authorization to work with ActiveMQ-4.0-RC2 A quick workaround is to create the advisory destinattions manually via JMX or the Web Console to avoid your client being the first person to create the destination - but it does look like somethings wrong - it looks like either the users's group is not being found correctly or that the authorizationPlugin is not being properly initialised. We could maybe patch the code for the authorizationPlugin to add debug logging to help you figure this one out?
