I am having exactly the same problems in that I am porting a Seam application
that was working with JAAS FORM authentication to use the new Seam security
code:
anonymous wrote : Seam Security only uses JAAS for authentication, not for
authorization. I'm guessing that your action is protected with some container
security mechanism, rather than the authorization features provided by Seam?
|
Is it possible to get Seam Security to work with existing JAAS components for
authorization as well? (Is this even planned?)
Let me explain...
For security reasons I have explicitly secured ALL my EJBs with container
security annotations. This is because they may be invoked from sources other
than just the seam web interface (e.g. web services, remote mbean connections,
etc).
To do this, I mark all my business logic with annotations like:
@Stateless
| @SecurityDomain("myapp")
| @RolesAllowed({"AppUser","AppSystem","AppAdmin"})
Previously, I was using the standard Tomcat JAAS FORM authentication support
(using <security-constraint> and <login-config> in web.xml), which I believe
was responsible for injecting the currently authenticated user into the
session, so when my authenticated Seam session made calls on EJBs, everything
"just worked". In fact, I was even able to get the current logged-in JAAS user
from my EJB code by calling SessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().
Since I am now longer using Tomcat to do this, is it possible to get Seam to
inject the JAAS principal into the session context so authenticated calls to
EJB methods still work?
I do not know enough about the internal workings of this stuff, but would it
not be the responsibility of the SeamListener to inject the JAAS context
accordingly?
Thanks, Scott
