RE: FormAuthentication
Guys , I got past the 404 error.It was a mistake on my part by not mapping /ServletRedirectSecure to the ServletRedirectorSecure Alias of the ServletRedirector Servlet. Thanks again for your help and understanding.

Buried in the stack trace is Failed to authenticate the principal. If you
try to log into the website normally using admin/admin does it work?
What server are you using? We have test cases that work with Tomcat and

Subject: FormAuthentication
Hi,
I am in a situation where I have EJB's and servlets created with security
roles defined.I need to test the Servlets and EJB's doing the authentication
in the process.I am using FormAuthentication for the secured
jsp/servlets/struts forms and actions.
I installed cactus 1.4.1 and found out that it does'nt implement form
authentication so I am now using the nightly build 20021022 after checking
the mailing list that some gentlemen have been adding this new feature.
My testcase is as follows:-
public void beginBasicAuthentication(WebRequest theRequest) {
theRequest.setURL(localhost:8080, /, /secure/idsconf,
null, null);
theRequest.addCookie( test, test );
theRequest.setRedirectorName(ServletRedirectorSecure);
theRequest.setAuthentication(new FormAuthentication(admin,
admin));
}
public void testBasicAuthentication() {
assertEquals(admin,
request.getUserPrincipal().getName());
assertEquals(admin, request.getRemoteUser());
assertTrue(User not in 'admin' role,
request.isUserInRole(admin));
}
I am getting this error when I run the test in Log4J DEBUG mode

I think the resource string should be the URL (

String resource =

I think you've found a problem!
I was unaware that you could change the redirector name in the WebRequest so
I didn't deal with that scenario. If you can, change the authenticate
function to be this (add the WebRequest argument, and then use it to get the
redirector name):
public void authenticate(WebRequest theRequest)
{
//Note: This method needs refactoring. It is too complex.
try
{
// Create a helper that will connect to a restricted resource.
String resource = theRequest.getRedirectorName();
...
and pass theRequest to the authenticate function in configuration method:
if (this.sessionId == null)
{
authenticate(theRequest);
}
and give it a try.
If that fixes things I'll work up a proper patch and submit it.
Good catch!

cactus.properties contains :-
cactus.contextURL = http://localhost:8080 only
and the testcase sets the redirector by calling :-
theRequest.setRedirectorName(ServletRedirectorSecure);
As long as I set the redirector in the test case it will override the
default redirector.
Then the question is why the default redirector is being used after the
override.
[org.apache.cactus.util.HttpURLConnection:http://localhost:8080/ServletRedir
ector]
I think I found the problem in cactus code.
I am setting redirector in the class WebRequest.redirectorName whereas the
FormAuthentication is getting the redirector name from the WebConfiguration
interface
implemented by the ServletConfiguration class which reads the redirector
name from
cactus.properties and used the default ServletRedirector if not specified.
The WebRequest wrapper should rather modify the stored configuration
object to
the new Redirector or the Servlet Configuration should check the request
object to get
the modified redirector.
/**
* @param theConfiguration the Cactus configuration
*/
public WebRequest(WebConfiguration theConfiguration)
{
this.configuration = theConfiguration;
}
/**
* Override the redirector Name defined in
codecactus.properties/code.
* This is useful to define a per test case Name (for example, if some
* test case need to have authentication turned on and not other tests,
* etc).
*
* @param theRedirectorName the new redirector Name to use
*/
public void setRedirectorName(String theRedirectorName)
{
this.redirectorName = theRedirectorName;
}
Tell me what you think.

One thing I notice is that cactus connects to
http://localhost:8080/ServletRedirector but you have the Tomcat config url
pattern as /ServletRedirectorSecure. Try removing the Secure from the end.
Make the ServletRedirector servlet a secure resource. (Alternatively, you
could add Secure to you cactus.properties file, but I'd say it would be
better to remove it.)
Let me know if that changes anything.

RE: FormAuthentication
Jason,
I found the Redirector change happening at function
(AbstractHttpClient.java)
private WebTestResult callGetResult(
AbstractAuthentication theAuthentication) throws Throwable
{
WebRequest resultsRequest = new WebRequest(this.configuration); ---
here
// Add authentication details
if (theAuthentication != null)
{
resultsRequest.setAuthentication(theAuthentication);
}
// Open the second connection to get the test results
ConnectionHelper helper = ConnectionHelperFactory.getConnectionHelper(
getRedirectorURL(resultsRequest), this.configuration);
The ServletConfiguration does not contain the redirector set in WebRequest
object
instead it loads it default redirector from the cactus.properties.
this.configuration is coming from new Configuration being initialized in
ServletTestCase class
* see AbstractTestCase#createConfiguration()
*/
protected Configuration createConfiguration()
{
return new ServletConfiguration();
}
When the user sets the redirector in Webrequest that never gets updated in
the configuration.
So when getRedirectorURL() gets called in AbstractHttpClient.java which is
actually implemented
in ServletHttpClient.java as
protected String getRedirectorURL(WebRequest theRequest)
{
String url;
// Check if user has overriden the servlet redirector
if (theRequest.getRedirectorName() != null)
{
url = this.configuration.getContextURL() + /
+ theRequest.getRedirectorName();
}
else
{
url = this.configuration.getRedirectorURL();
}
return url;
}
The theRequest parameter being a newly intialized WebRequest object does not
have the
redirector set from the old request object used for Form Authentication.
Hence callResult function never goes to the Secured Servlet Redirector used
earlier to run the test.
I am not too sure if the unsecured redirector will be able to return the
results.
Maybe cactus guru's will know the answer to this design.
