hi, All we did was that we created a custom valve that extends org.apache.catalina.valves.ValveBase;
in the invoke method , we added the user principals to the request using following lines of code. | . | List roles = new ArrayList(); | roles.add("Authenticated"); | roles.add("User"); | roles.add("Admin"); | roles.add("CustomRole"); // add any roles that you want to add depending on context | | . | . | request.setUserPrincipal(new GenericPrincipal(request.getContext().getRealm(), username,password, roles)); | . | . | . | getNext().invoke(request, response); | you can also create new subjects and add to SecurityAssociation Group roleGroup = new SimpleGroup("Roles"); | | for (int i = 0; i < roles.size(); i++) { | String rname = (String) roles.get(i); | Principal p = new UserPrincipal(rname); | roleGroup.addMember(p); | } | | Subject subj = new Subject(); | subj.getPrincipals().add(new UserPrincipal(username)); | subj.getPrincipals().add(roleGroup); | SecurityAssociation.setSubject(subj); | Once you are done with this, next we have to tell the application that it has to go through the custom valve that we created. This is done by creating a new file called context.xml having the following entry (specify your custom valve class name) <Context> | <Valve className="sample.util.CustomValve" /> | </Context> place this file xml along with web.xml (in jboss-portal.sar\portal-server.war\WEB-INF) create a jar of your custom valve class file and put it in any lib dir. we put it in server\default\lib. then restart the server . Hope this will help, tellarsrinivasprabhu View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4084942#4084942 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4084942 _______________________________________________ jboss-user mailing list jboss-user@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user
