Principles sanity check. Please help - I'm going mad!
Could somebody have a quick look at what I am doing and tell me if I am going even vaguely in the right direction. My problem is that as soon as I put security-roles in my ejb-jar.xml I am unable to call the ejbs as I get the exception: com.evermind.server.rmi.OrionRemoteException: guest is not allowed to call the Table.findByPrimaryKey(...) method, check your security settings. How do I connect as a user other than guest? OR How do I grant permissions to guest? I have an ejb-jar.xml with some security info in it: assembly-descriptor security-role description Aministrators /description role-nameadministrator/role-name /security-role security-role description All users /description role-nameeveryone/role-name /security-role security-role description Guests /description role-nameguest/role-name /security-role ... method permissions here (everyone has everything at the moment) I now need to map those to the roles in principals.xml, so in my orion-application.xml I have: security-role-mapping name="everyone" impliesAll="true" group name="guests" / group name="users" / group name="administrators" / /security-role-mapping security-role-mapping name="administrator" impliesAll="false" group name="guests" / group name="users" / group name="administrators" / /security-role-mapping security-role-mapping name="guest" impliesAll="false" group name="guests" / group name="users" / group name="administrators" / /security-role-mapping principals path="d:\orion\config\principals.xml" / where guests,users and administrators are groups in principles.xml. Is this the correct thing to do. Dave Smith Senior Team Leader Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Certificate from Thawte? How?
I have. The only problem I had was when importing the certificate response. Keytool seems to be very sensitive to white charactersat the end of the certificate files. It wouldnt import my certificate response until I added a returnat the end of the file. But that, of course, has nothing to do with Thawte. I sent an email to Thawte about Orion not beeing on the list, but I havent got any answer. So Iselected Java WebServer. (I guess they will be surprised that somenone still uses that one...). I am pretty sure that it doesnt really matter which one you select. I guess it is for statistics. When you fetch your certifiacate you can choose from a number of types and formats. I chose PKCS#7 Certificate Chain. Good luck. /Mattias - Original Message - From: Steven Punte To: Orion-Interest Sent: Monday, July 24, 2000 11:38 PM Subject: Certificate from Thawte? How?

AW: FollowUp: application-client.xml, initial context
Hi again, just to let you know, how it works to use the com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory: For an application you should write one application-client.xml, that contains ejb-refs to all beans used by this application. This file has to reside in a META-INF folder located in the root of the application's jar - respective in the root of (one of) your classpath(s). It is intended to provide different application-client.xml files for each client, listing only the needed beans - a bit difficult while developing, since you should have an own class tree for each client application, so i fear at the end the application-client.xml will simply contain all beans in the server... I know, that this likely will not be subject to change (depends on the spec), but a possibility to assign JNDI names in the server on a per-module-base would match my needs much better... well, we got to take it like it is. BTW, is there any intended use for the com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory? Is it only for internal use? Where do i assign names for objects in the server, that will show up in this context? Regards, Jens Stutte PS: Thanx to Martin Mavrov, he led me on the right way... -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Jens Stutte [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Dienstag, 25.

Juli 2000 19:15 An: Orion-Interest Betreff: application-client.xml, initial context Hi, i think, there is some confusion out there what's the right way to obtain an initial context and how to specify the bindings for ejbs (and me too need a little help). There are (at least) two factorys provided by orion, the com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory and the com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory. Up to version 1.1.21 orion automatically put a jndi binding with the beans name specified in the ejb-jar.xml in the context which one got via the RMIInitialContextFactory - a very handy thing, only that it seems not to be covered by any spec... and the newest version does not offer these bindings any more, so that clients relying on RMIInitialContextFactory will fail in the future it seems (i discovered this, because i used this feature, too). Now i'm trying out to use the ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory, and found that documentation about the application-client.xml is rare - not regarding the contents but regarding the place, where to put it. I have for example an application with two modules, which reside _unpacked_ in the application directory, like appname - META-INF - application.xml - module1 - de (classes, this is actual a link to my classes dir) - META-INF - ejb-jar.xml - module2 - de (classes, this is actual a link to my classes dir) - META-INF - ejb-jar.xml each of these modules containing some beans, which are deployed correctly, it seems. I tried to put two application-client.xml files in the META-INFs of the two modules (on the server side), but the ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory still complains, that it can't find the META-INF/application-client.xml. So i suspected, i'll have to put it somewhere on the client side - but where? Or do i have to specify some magic words in the application.xml? I do not want to pack my classes into a client jar, if possible, but leave them unpacked in my CVS tree (within Netbeans/forte) while developing. Could someone please shed some light on the application-client.xml and how it's intended to be used?

Switching from HTTP to HTTPS in an Application
Where can I find some examples of switching an application from http to https? I've got Orion running Sun's JPS 1.0 with http and https but needed some guidance. I think it would be reasonable once they log into the application it would be in secure mode from then on, but I've also heard others just secure individual pages. Thanks in Advance, Kirk S.

Re: Deploying and principals.xml
Hi, You will find that there is a descriptor in the same directory as where the principals.xml is located which actually points to the principls.xml that it can not find or create. If your not using the principals.xml I suggest you just remove the reference to the principals.xml and you wont get this problem. The reference to the principals file is in orion-application.xml. This is what I done to solve this problem. However in my case I did not need to use the services of the principals.xml, so for me it was a solution.

Filter bug in version 1.1.24 and 1.1.31
We are seeing very strange problems in using filters in Orion versions 1.1.24 and 1.1.31. It seems that occasionally the filter will not be called, and it will show our default html page that should actually never show up (as our filter handles (or sends a redirect) every request except for images), or if remove that page it gives a 404 error. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thank you, Joel Shellman http://www.ants.com/90589781

Hi Todd,
Do you have an EAR file or directory structure? If you do, I would
put the jars in the
web-app (your WAR inside the EAR) in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
Hope this helps,
