Hi:
I am trying to implement authentication and authorization using JAASRealm.
(I am following the instruction provided at -
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html). However, looks
like the role that I set (in the RolePrincipal) is not taking effect.
I have created a class extending Principal for the role. I am setting the
right name of the role (which I fetch from DB) and add the class to Subject
as follows -
LoginContext lc = null;
try {
lc = new LoginContext("TMSLogin",
new AuthCallBackHandler(username, password));
} catch (LoginException le) {
......
}
try {
lc.login();
} catch (LoginException le) {
....
}
// now I am trying to set the rolePrincipal
Subject mySubject = lc.getSubject();
TMSRoles tmsRoles = new TMSRoles(role);
mySubject.getPrincipals().add(tmsRoles);
I have also made entries in server.xml as follows (i set debug to 0 hoping
for more debug info, TMSLogin is defined in jaas.config in tomcat's conf
directory) -
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm"
appName="TMSLogin"
userClassNames="tms.core.authentication.TMSPrincipal"
roleClassNames="tms.core.authentication.TMSRoles"
debug="0"/>
my entry in web.xml is the following -
<security-constraint>
<display-name>AdminConstraint</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>TMSAdmin</web-resource-name>
<description>Only for administrators</description>
<url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description/>
<role-name>ADMIN</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-role>
<description>ADMIN</description>
<role-name>ADMIN</role-name>
</security-role>
the getName() of the TMSRoles instance returns "ADMIN", which should allow
url /admin/*.
However, I am still getting HTTP 403.
Please help.
thanx
Shahab
