[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - jboss 5 versus 4.x
Hello, I had started looking at JBoss 4.2.2GA a few months back. The basic scneario is: a. I deploy multiple applications in multiple instances of JBoss running on the same machine. b. Use JBoss security model for authenticating users and have a custom class which extends the JBoss databaseLoginModule class to do the authentication mentioned above. Since JBoss 5 is a shift (from the current architecture) I was wondering what impact this would have(if any) on the list above? Do things need to be done differently , esp. for the security model in JBoss 5 or will I be able to continue using my custom Jar which extends the databaseLoginModule class of Jboss? Any insight into this would be appreciated. Thanks.

[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - web server?
Please excuse the naive questions, but what web server does Jboss use? I understand it uses Tomcat as it's servlet engine, but how does it serve static contents like HTML, and images. If I wanted SSL encryption / decryption just like in Apache, is that supported (without having to plug into Apache)? Thanks a lot for ure feedback.

Thanks. I was able to go through the documentation and work with twiddle. Is there a way to get information on individual thread breakdown and their characteristics (eg: idle time), either through twiddle / web console or other Jboss tools?

Thanks for the info guys. I also understand from the WIKI that mod_proxy allows to use https between Apache httpd and JBoss Web The next question was is it possible to set configuration of the jBoss web server and Apache connection seperately/ independently (mat threads, time outs, ports etc)? erasmomarciano did mention the port number, but I was looking to se if at all there is aplace where I can set an independent connector config much like the following: View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4173753#4173753 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4173753 ___ jboss-user mailing list jboss-user@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user

Thanks for your answers erasmomarciano. But I am not sure I am following everything. Could you please detail this a bit more since I am new to this. Your understanding is correct. I am trying to communicate between JBoss and Apache or IIS etc. My Jboss version is 4.2.2GA Thanks.

[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - Re: connector configuration
Hi Peter, sorry for being unclear as I am trying to figure my way here too. Here is the breakdown: I am looking at JRun and trying to find parallels or at least work arounds in JBoss. In JRun, two services are defined: 1) For the built in WebServer (webservice). 2) For communicating with a native web server like Apache or IIS etc (proxyservice). Both are seperately configurable (ports, max threads etc) While, jboss-web.deployer/server.xml lets us define the first service, is there a parallel way to define the second service? Where would one define any configuration if connecting to a webs erver like Apache? Thanks.

Peter, I went through the web console> full status and see memory and thread stats. This should essentially be the same info correct?

Hi, While I understand that to configure port, thread connections etc for the web server in Jboss, one has to do it in jboss-web.deployer/server.xml (is this correct?)

Hi, Sorry if this the incorrect place for this, but could not find a specific topic for JBoss logs. Apart from the standard log configuration defined in the wiki: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Logging What else is configurable in jBoss logs? I am particularly looking at how to configure the logs to contain some metrics at certain intervals. E.g.: Every X minutes, it should give me the threads in use, total threads available, free memory available etc. Is there a way to configure this? Thanks.

ragavgomatam, if I do programatic flushing via JMX in my custom login module, wouldn't that be equivalent? do you see any dis advantage of doing this?

[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - some questions on authentication
Hi All, Apologize if these questions have been asked before or if they are naive, but I am writing after doing some search on the web and the forum. Do point me out to any tutorial / web resource if you think they can answer my questions. I am relatively new to JBoss/JAAS authentication, and have successfully implemented a sample web application which uses the form based authentication method. On the server side, I have a custom class which extends the DataBaseLoginModule. My questions were the following: 1) Does one have to use form with 'j_security_check' to initialize the security workflow? 2) How could I extend this if I needed to have the username password in my HTTP request? 3) It seems like once JBoss authenticates the user, a HTTP session is maintained until the JBoss cache expires. Is this true? Meaning once logged into a web application, and if the subsequent JSP / Servlet calls fall inside the security restrictions defined in a web.xml, a session is maintained and there is no need for extra authentication on each step. 4) I understand jboss 'webauthentication' is similar but is mostly for programmatic login. Can it be used from a JSP / Swing/ .NET client?? If so how, is there any useful web resource / tutorial you could point me to? Thanks and hoping fro some feedback from the forum.

[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - Re: AbstractServerLogin module.logout and cached principals
thanks for the reply ragavgomatam. but the problem I am trying to look at is removal of the successful login from the cache. From my example above. Lets say: 1) My DefaultCacheTimeout in jboss-service.xml is set to default (30 mins). 2)I log in as john successfully (username:john, password 1234). Principal john gets cached. 3) I close my browser in 2 minutes. I open my browser after 10 mins. I am prompted with a login screen. 4) I log in, but *incorrectly*. username:john, password . The error page I have defined in my web.xml kicks in. *At this point, I also want to remove from the cache, the successful login from step 2.* 5) So, now, if john goes back to the login page and logs in correctly, I want to authenticate against my database instead of the cache. For this I needed a way to go through the subjects, catch the correct subject, get the correct principal and remove it from the correct principal set, yes? That is where I am a bit stuck in, how does one get to all the subjects? I can see the principal being set in the commit method, but in logout, the Set is blank. I believe this is because on my second login attempt, the subject is different that the previous one (successful attempt at step 2). Another question is: If we cannot call the logout, how do I log out of my web application? Would I need to try session invalidation? I am confused as to how this will remove the principal from JBoss cache. thanks.

[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - AbstractServerLogin module.logout and cached principals
Hi all, I am implementing a very simple web application and adding a custom class extending from the DatabaseLoginModule. All it does is extend initialize() by adding a few more variables, and extend login() by adding some checking logic before and after a call to super.login(). So, I have not modifed login() in any other way. One thing I am doing is: 1) I log in with proper credentials (eg: john/1234), the credentials get stored in cache. 2) I login without proper password (eg: john/qq), the login method throws a FailedLoginException. 3) During this failed login exception, I am trying to remove the previously authenticated entry from the cache. I was calling AbstactServerLogin's logout() method, thinking this should do the trick, but realize that the principals Set the method looks up is different (?) from the one used in commit method. How then , can I get back to the cached principal and remove it from the cache?

[jboss-user] [JNDI/Naming/Network] - Re: document / pointers on doing an RMI client server implem
so, if looks like I can use RMi via JNDI in JBoss. Here is what I have tried
so far, and it is not working. Do let me know what I am missing:
1) defined a client / server / interface / iterface impl according to how it's
done in RMI
2) packaged with other classes in my simple JBoss app.
3)in a servlet I am invoking the initialization methods for Server first, and
then Client.
4) I am using InitialContext to bind and connect in the server / client (see
sample below).
5) What am I missing?
6) Do I need an rmi policy file? any security permissions?
I keep getting the following exception:
Server exception thrown: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Could not obtain
connection to any of these urls: 127.0.0.1:1099 and discovery failed with
error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception
is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out]...
[Root exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: Failed to connect
to server 127.0.0.1:1099 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException:
Connection refused: connect]]]
a snippet of my code is:
MyClassImpl obj = new MyClassImpl();
MyClass stub = (MyClass) UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(obj, 0);
Properties env = new Properties();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://127.0.0.1:1099");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
ctx.bind("MyString", stub);
the exception is thrown when binding, I have tried rebind also. I have similar
code snippet for looking up the stub in client side too.
