WAS 6.1 - JAAS configuration issue

[Ranjith Chilumuru]

Dear All,

I am getting the following error during server startup.

1/13/09 14:42:31:135 IST] 0000000a Parser E SECJ4048E: ParserException occurred during parsing jaas application configuration. The exception is com.ibm.ws.security.auth.login.Parser$ParserException: line 1: expected 'null', found '*'

Can you please let me know how to solve this issue. Thanks!

Thanks,
Ranjith

Check your security settings in security.xml in your server profile and verify whether entry for JAAS is syntactically correct.

Yes, security.xml is syntactically correct. Any other suggestion? Thanks!

I am not sure what else could cause this.
I would still suggest you inspect the configuration file for any syntax error.

Well, one of our team member has removed java style comments from default.jaas.config file and issue is solved.

However, default.jaas.config file worked fine with comments with WAS 5.1.x version, since we moved to WAS 6.1, the issue arised.
example:

/** Login Configuration for example project**/ // removed this line and issue is solved..

ExampleLogin {
  com.example.jas.LoginModule  required;
};

Solved

Thanks,
Ranjith
