Authentication - I thought I got it, but I don't

2000-10-13 Thread Ben Z. Tels

L.S.

I just don't get it. Still using Orion server version 1.3.8, got a working
account and group set up, but I don't understand how to pass in
authentication information.

When I change the JNDI properties to reflect the new username and password,
they are rejected (using java.naming.security.principal and so on).
When I add them to the InitialContext using addToEnviroment(), with the
constants defined in javax.namimg.Context as keys, they are not recognized
(the server brings up the dialog prompting for username and password).
When I type them in to the dialog box the server produces, everything works.

Obviously, using the latter option is not viable for production code. Can
anybody help me with getting another option to work?

TIA,

Really basic problem with user authentication

2000-10-09 Thread Ben Z. Tels

L.S.

I am having the following problem with principals on the Orion server
(version 2.1): I have principals defined in an applicaiton-specific
principals.xml file, like so:

- principals.xml 
?xml version="1.0"?
!DOCTYPE principals PUBLIC "//Evermind - Orion Principals//"
"http://www.orionserver.com/dtds/principals.dtd"

principals
 groups
  group name="StoreOwner"/group
  group name="Customer"/group
 /groups
 users
  user deactivated="false" locked="false" password="KerLach" realname="Ben
Tels" username="ben"
   group-membership group="StoreOwner" /
   group-membership group="Customer" /
  /user
  user deactivated="false" locked="true" password="" realname=""
username="anonymous"
   group-membership group="Customer" /
  /user
 /users
/principals

--- lmx.slapiclap -----------

Needless to say, my client application gets refused ( Invalid user/password
(ben) ).

If anybody can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Help with diagnosing problem

2000-09-30 Thread Ben Z. Tels

L.S.

I'm learning how to use the Orion server to run EJBs in and tried deploying
my first self-written EJB today. When starting the server, I get the
following error message:

E:\orionjava -jar orion.jar
Auto-deploying dev (No previous deployment found)... Error compiling
file:/E:/orion/titan/dev/: Variable contained illegal space

Which is certainly interesting, but not very useful. Can someone suggest a
way to find out WHICH variable it is talking about? Or at least in
which/what sort of FILE this variable is declared/it's value is being
derived from?

Thanks,

Nevermind. The problem ssems to have vanished all by itself.
