[JBoss-user] BaseCertLoginModule problems

[Steven Nakhla]

I'm attempting to secure the jmx-console according to the directions here:

 

http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=BaseCertLoginModule

 

In my jmx-console-roles.properties file, I have the distinguished name of my certificate.  However, when I attempt to login, I get the following error:

 

2004-07-29 08:32:48,515 DEBUG [org.jboss.security.auth.spi.BaseCertLoginModule] securityDomain=java:/jaas/jmx-console

 at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.BaseCertLoginModule.validateCredential(BaseCertLoginModule.java:323)
 at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.BaseCertLoginModule.login(BaseCertLoginModule.java:175)

I noticed, however, that the instructions don't say anything about the jmx-console-users.properties file.  Is there anything that I should be placing in this file.  Could that be creating this error?  I'd really appreciate any help you could give me.  Thanks!
