Your simple client should have code that looks up the JNDI context using the LoginInitialContextFactory.
Something like this: public Context login(String user, String password) { try { Context ctx = null; Properties p = new Properties(); p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "yourhost:1099"); p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.security.jndi.LoginInitialContextFactory"); p.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); p.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, "login"); p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user); p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password); ctx = new InitialContext(p); return ctx; } When you run your cliemt, set the following system property: java.security.auth.login.config=<A URL THAT POINTS TO auth.conf> eg. http://MYHOST:8080/security-conf/auth.conf The auth.conf file looks like this: login { org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule required; }; other { org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule required; }; So the line p.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, "login"); refers to the entry in the auth.conf file. Hopefully, that will sort you out. //Nicholas --- Christofer Dutz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > at the moment I am learning for an exam on tuesday > and am realy sort of > frustrated. > I finaly managed to understand using XDoclet and > simply wanted to try > to access my Beans from a simple Client. > Now something has to have changed since earlier > JBoss versions (I am > using 3.2.2RC2) > > How can I authenticate a simple client application > in a seperate VM so I > can acces my EJBs. > I have tried googeling for a solution, but that only > made things worse. > It seems impossible to find up-to-date information. > All hints turned out > to be wrong. > > Could someone please send me a link on how to write > a client to > correctly authenticate with the JAAS-Service of > JBoss ? > > Thanx in advance, > Chris > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built > ASP.NET sites including > Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are > available now. > Download today and enter to win an XBOX or Visual > Studio .NET. > http://aspnet.click-url.com/go/psa00100003ave/direct;at.aspnet_072303_01/01 > _______________________________________________ > JBoss-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user ===== Nicholas Whitehead Home: (973) 377 9335 Cell: (201) 615 2716 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get Your News From The Crowbar: http://crowbar.dnsalias.com:443/crowbar/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
