Great!

I am sorry if this seemed trivial to you and others, but the documentation 
did _not_ seem to be telling me what you mentioned about 'Roles'. I 
assumed 'Roles' ment I could call the 'Roles' what I understand as 
'Roles'. Not the literal 'Roles'.
Anyway, thanks very much.


The trivial questions are best because I can answer them :-)

Seriously  I can see how the descriptoin can be misread, the jboss docs are 
a bit
terse sometimes.

Hello!

Try changing this line in login-config.xml

 SELECT user_roles,
user_group FROM USER_ROLES WHERE USERNAME=?
To

  SELECT user_roles, 'Roles' FROM
USER_ROLES WHERE USERNAME=?
or change the value of user_group in all rows to "Roles".

My understanding of the second parameter that the rolesquery should return
is that
you can somhow categorize users in diffent ways, but that the default
user/role handling
should return "Roles".
It also sounds like you might have misunderstood how the "run-as" identity
is used.
That identity does not affect the callers of a bean or who can call it, it
says that
when the bean tries to access other beans it will do so with the run-as
identity.
This is so you can define beans that only can be called by "internal"
identities so
that noone can call them directly from the outside.

months now without success.
I have tried an infinite number of combinations to try to get to a 
_SIMPLE_ solution as outlined by the JBoss manual, the JAAS article in 
JavaWorld, and hundreds of documents and examples from all over the internet.

Well, I just don't have anymore time to waste as my deadline is now 48 
hours away!
I desperately need help:

1. Find someone to offer some help to resolve this by Friday.
2. Direct me somewhere to find the help I need
3. Tell who would be willing to have me hire them for the help I need.
Here is my current situation:
I am using JBoss 3.0.6 with Catalina on NT 4.0, MySql, XDoclet 1.2, Struts 
1.1rc1, JDK 1.4.
I create a beans.jar, common.jar, app.war and package everything into 
app.ear. The only things that are not in my EAR are the mysql-service.xml, 
auth.conf, login-config.xml, and server.policy which reside in the 
$JBOSS_HOME\server\default\conf and the $JBOSS_HOME\server\default\deploy 
directories.
I also attached all the above file in a zip file here in this message.

I have the DatabaseServerLoginModule configured and it seems to be 
operating, but not correctly.
When I try to access a page under /private/* I get forwarded to /logon.jsp 
correctly.

My MySql Database has 2 tables:
TABLE_USER: columns: username, password
TABLE_USER_ROLES: columns: username, user_roles, user_group
TABLE_USER: data: "mick", "mickPassword"
TABLE_USER_ROLES: data1: "mick", "user", "user"
TABLE_USER_ROLES: data2: "mick", "admin", "admin"
I then type in j_username: "mick", j_password: "mickPassword" and click ENTER.
I seem to be logged in successfully as the console shows that I have 3 
Principals: "mick", "user", "admin" and when I attempt to navigate to 
pages in the private area that do not require EJB access, I continue to 
see that my Principal is kept successfully through each page. So I do 
_not_ currently have the Principal=null issue.
I do however have a UserPreferenceFilter that I check if the user is in 
role "user", "admin", or "guest" and all 3 come up as "NO".

Also, when I attempt to access a page that goes to my EJB layer, I get a 
Security violation error that states user must belong to [] role. 
But I have added a "run-as = InternalUser" for all my EJB's so far. But 
that does not seem to work. When I remove the "run-as=InternalUser", I get 
a Security Violation that states the user must belong to the role I specified.

So it seems that my main 2 issues are getting the Roles to stick to the 
user when they login, and the EJB's to be able to use the user Roles, or 
the "run-as=InternalUser"

[OT] EXTREMELY URGENT: JBoss JAAS/Container Security issue

2003-04-02 Thread Mick . Knutson
I appologize for this Off-Topic message, but I desperatly need help!

I have been fighting with the JBoss DatabaseServerLoginModule for almost 2 months now 
without success.
I have tried an infinite number of combinations to try to get to a _SIMPLE_ solution 
as outlined by the JBoss manual, the JAAS article in JavaWorld, and hundreds of 
documents and examples from all over the internet.

Well, I just don't have anymore time to waste as my deadline is now 48 hours away!
I desperately need help:

1. Find someone to offer some help to resolve this by Friday.
2. Direct me somewhere to find the help I need
3. Tell who would be willing to have me hire them for the help I need.

Here is my current situation:
I am using JBoss 3.0.6 with Catalina on NT 4.0, MySql, XDoclet 1.2, Struts 1.1rc1, JDK 
1.4.
I create a beans.jar, common.jar, app.war and package everything into app.ear. The 
only things that are not in my EAR are the mysql-service.xml, auth.conf, 
login-config.xml, and server.policy which reside in the 
$JBOSS_HOME\server\default\conf and the $JBOSS_HOME\server\default\deploy directories.
I also attached all the above file in a zip file here in this message.

I have the DatabaseServerLoginModule configured and it seems to be operating, but not 
correctly.
When I try to access a page under /private/* I get forwarded to /logon.jsp correctly.

My MySql Database has 2 tables:
TABLE_USER: columns: username, password
TABLE_USER_ROLES: columns: username, user_roles, user_group

TABLE_USER: data: "mick", "mickPassword"
TABLE_USER_ROLES: data1: "mick", "user", "user"
TABLE_USER_ROLES: data2: "mick", "admin", "admin"

I then type in j_username: "mick", j_password: "mickPassword" and click ENTER.
I seem to be logged in successfully as the console shows that I have 3 Principals: 
"mick", "user", "admin" and when I attempt to navigate to pages in the private area 
that do not require EJB access, I continue to see that my Principal is kept 
successfully through each page. So I do _not_ currently have the Principal=null issue.
I do however have a UserPreferenceFilter that I check if the user is in role "user", 
"admin", or "guest" and all 3 come up as "NO".

Also, when I attempt to access a page that goes to my EJB layer, I get a Security 
violation error that states user must belong to [] role. But I have added a 
"run-as = InternalUser" for all my EJB's so far. But that does not seem to work. When 
I remove the "run-as=InternalUser", I get a Security Violation that states the user 
must belong to the role I specified.

So it seems that my main 2 issues are getting the Roles to stick to the user when they 
login, and the EJB's to be able to use the user Roles, or the "run-as=InternalUser"
