JNDI Properties for Oracle 10g AS(904)

[s penumudi]

Hello all,
I have written an Junit test case to test EJB that is deployed in Oracle 10g AS(904).

As I my Jnuit will be remote client that acess EJB, I will have to specify JNDI properties to get the Initial context.

I was wondering what should be the values for Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL and Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS

There is an application specific logon module confiugred in jazn-data.xml file.

Does values for the above two properties should be user name and password used to login into Enterprise Manager or they represents username and password that are used to log into the application.

If I user enterprise manager username and password, I am getting following exception

  
avax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Invalid configuration for user authentication.; nested exception is: 
javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Invalid configuration for user authentication. [Root exception is javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Invalid configuration for user authentication.]

If I user application specific user name and password, I am getting following exception

  
javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Invalid username/password for MyApp (user1); nested exception is: 
javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Invalid username/password for safari (user1) [Root exception is javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Invalid username/password for MyApp (user1)]
 

Your input would be a great help to me

thank you

Out of the box, I believe you need the following (assume env is a Hashtable):

env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "admin");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "welcome");

Robert,
In Penumudi's version of OC4J, out-of-the-box, it uses JAZN security.
Personally, in order not to use JAZN, I modify the configuration files.
These are XML files that are located in the "j2ee/home/config" subdirectory
of the OC4J installation (for the OC4J stand-alone version -- as opposed to
the complete Oracle Application Server). I can't verify it now, but I believe
you need to change the "application.xml" file. In any case, there is a comment
in the relevant file that tells you what to do.

Now if you do decide to use "principals" (as opposed to JAZN) security, the
"admin" user password you need to use is the one you defined when you installed
OC4J.

Remember, the above relates to OC4J stand-alone version 9.0.4

Good Luck,
Avi.

Thanks for your response,
I am using Oracle 10g AS (904) full install application server not standalone.

I guess I cannot change application.xml files or any configuration files etither because when I want to test my EJB i also want to test them with user group roles.

Any other ideas?

Avi Arbami,
I have installed OC4J standalone and I am facing problem
I haven't changed application.xml file in config directory though.

Can you please suggest me how to go about this now. I am not sure how I should be proceeding futher with this exception.

I said obeserved this though. When I use
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "opmn rmi://localhost::home/AppName"); in place of
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://localhost:23791/AppName");

I am able to get the context but when I lookup for EJB, I am getting NameNotFoundException.

Any thoughts. Please help me.. I am fighting with this for couple of days and being unproductive..

Penumudi,
First you have to decide whether you want to use OC4J stand-alone,
or Oracle 10g Application Server -- since they are two different products.
I only have experience using OC4J stand-alone -- so I cannot help you with
10gAS.

For your information, you can find lots of information about both 10gAS and
OC4J from this Web page:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/index.html

Good Luck,
Avi.

For development, I will be using OC4J standalone.

I know that opmn rmi://localhost::inst_name/appName is used for looking remote object from Oracle 10g AS.

I should be using ormi://localhost:rmi_port/appName for OC4J standalone.

Anyways thanks for your response.
