Login Module configuration

[Kalai Selvan]

Hi,
I am pretty new to Jboss server. Can anybody help me out in cofiguring Login Module. My requirement is not to use any property files, the username and password should be stored in Jboss inbuilt database server(if it has one). Quick reply would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Kalai Selvan T.

You can use DatabaseServerLoginModule. See JBoss QuickStart.pdf, or jbossj2ee.pdf for more explanation.

You need to give an entry in the JBOSS_HOME/server/conf/login-module.xml file. It would be something like this.

  
<application-policy name = "yourname">
<authentication>
<login-module code = "org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule"
flag = "required">
<module-option name = "dsJndiName">java:/DefaultDS</module-option>
<module-option name = "principalsQuery">SELECT PASSWD FROM JMS_USERS WHERE USERID=?</module-option>
<module-option name = "rolesQuery">SELECT ROLEID, 'Roles' FROM JMS_ROLES WHERE USERID=?</module-option>
</login-module>
</authentication>
</application-policy>
 

You have to use application policy name in the jboss.xml file. Then it would be something like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
<security-domain>java:/jaas/yourname</security-domain>
</jboss-web>

Noramally java:/DefaultDS datasource is bound to hypersonic in JBoss. so no need to deploy any file for that. But still you need to use a client login module to populate the user principal and credential to the JBoss. for more details on using DatabaseServerLoginModule

JBoss and JAAS
