Sorry, if I am getting this wrong. The scenario that I have is something like this:
I have an ear deployed under geronimo. The ear contains a web-app which at one point of time, asks a user for a username and password. This username/password are authenticated using JAAS. The Loginmodules defined for this JAAS authentication are placed in the JAAS config file. The problem is not with authenticating with geronimo, but with my internal authentication. The file needed for my authentication, needs to be set as the java system property. If I add that to my geronimo.bat file, then I can see the property getting set. (in Console > JVM Information). But when the code tries to get it, its failing, and saying that no login modules are defined. -----Original Message----- From: David Jencks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2006 10:59 AM To: user@geronimo.apache.org Subject: Re: Location of JAAS config file On Jun 10, 2006, at 10:01 PM, Sunny Saxena wrote: > What if I don't want to use geronimo's security realms.

You should be able to do this without changing your packaged j2ee application at all. You will need a geronimo deployment plan. What you need to do is write gbean configurations that set up the equivalent login module configuration to your example.conf and include these in your geronimo plan. When you deploy the app with this plan, the login modules will be properly configured. Aaron provided some gbean configuration example below although he used a different realm name than you, something closer to your example would be <gbean name="ExampleRealm" class="org.apache.geronimo.security.realm.GenericSecurityRealm"> <attribute name="realmName">example</attribute> <reference name="ServerInfo"> <name>ServerInfo</name> </reference> <reference name="LoginService"> <name>JaasLoginService</name> </reference> <xml-reference name="LoginModuleConfiguration"> <login-config xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/loginconfig-1.1";> <login-module control-flag="REQUIRED" server-side="true" wrap-principals="false"> <login-domain-name>example</login-domain-name> <login-module-class>com.test.DBLoginModule</login- module-class> </login-module> </login-config> </xml-reference> </gbean> This would go as the last element in your geronimo plan. Since I don't know what kind of app you are deploying (ejb, web, ear, app- client) I'm not going to guess at what the rest of the plan might look like. thanks david jencks > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alan D.
