I am using a Java application compiled with version 1.4.2_05 running on Tomcat 5.0.28. I need to move this application to a new server running OpenJDK 1.6.0_20 and Tomcat 5.5.23. I unfortunately do not have the source :-(
The application uses a custom login module to authenticate via a Radius server.
So I have deployed the WAR on the new server, created a jaas.conf and added ' -Djava.security.auth.login.config==$CATALINA_HOME/conf/jaas.conf' to the Tomcat configuration file. However I keep getting this error.
javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: unable to find LoginModule class: jaas.RadiusLoginModule
The class 'RadiusLoginModule' is present in the application in the directory jaas. So Tomcat should be able to find the class right? I am probably doing something wrong. But I cannot see what. I added my jaas.conf and context.xml.
jaas.conf JRadiusClientLoginModule {
jaas.RadiusLoginModule required
};
META-INF/context.xml <Context path="/application" reloadable="true" debug="0" privileged="true">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm"
debug="99"
appName="JRadiusClientLoginModule"
userClassNames="jaas.RadiusPrincipal"
roleClassNames="jaas.RolePrincipal">
</Realm>
</Context>
If more information is required please let me know. I hope somebody can point me in the right direction ;-)
If your app requires Tomcat 5 and Java 1.4 and you have no source code, your worries are just beginning. Both of the preceeding are obsolete and Java 1.4 is beyond End-of-Life.
Tomcat's security Realms operate as part of the Tomcat server and not as part of the webapp. So having the Radius class in the WAR won't help any - it won't be in Tomcat's personal classpath.
You can copy this class out to the tomcat server lib directory, but something is amiss if the app ever expected things to work as things are so I can't guarantee results.
