JAAS Realm-Error

[Atul Mishra]

Hi all,

I configured a LoginModule using JAAS, JAASRealm, coded LoginModule java file, added in server.xml,web.xml,added login.config file and I am using Tomcat as the server- and while testing getting the folling exception, please suggest why this exception is occuring:

I havenot done any changes in java.policy file and java.security files. Do I need to do that ?

Exception Occured
Error: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission loadLibrary.ocijdbc9)

Thanks.

How have you configured the loginmodule.

Rahul,

HI- Wrote a class and configured the filess in a jar file. Then put the jar file in Tomcat's class path..

Is that what you were asking ?

Sorry Atul , I could not get properly .The following article might help you.

JAAS Article.

Thanks for your link Rahul

Here is what I did

Followed the instructions in tomcat page
1.Write LoginModule, User and Role classes based on JAAS to be managed by the JAAS Login Context (javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext) 2.Create separate classes to distinguish between users and roles,
3.Place the compiled classes on Tomcat's classpath
4.Set up a login.config file for Java

5.Configure the security-constraints in web.xml for the resources to be used -
6.Configure the JAASRealm module in your server.xml. � Configured settings

Anything else which I am missing ? I am trying to use this realm with a J2EE app in tomcat/eclipse environment.

[Rahul Bhattacharjee]

All the steps are mentioned properly in Tomcat howto for JAAS configuration.Just follow that.

So what happens when you try to login.
Error - what error ? Check the catalina.log for more information on the error.

[Atul Mishra]

Yes exactly I followed the same link, but didnt make any changes in security file/policy file.

When I run it
i run it via a web app using login.jsp action = j_security_check, it gets to the LoginModule class.

In the LoginModule class I have a jdbc method, and it fails while calling drivermanager.getConnection

Exception is this:
Exception Occured
Error: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission loadLibrary.ocijdbc9)

I am running it via eclipse/embedded tomcat

Thanks

Can anyone give me any inputs to this ?
Still error is there, Thanks!

[Rahul Bhattacharjee]

Is your login module trying to access to get some authentication information.
Why do not you try granting RuntimePermission to the oc1jdbc9 resource.

[Atul Mishra]

Rahul,

I think it may sound weird, but I put classes12.jar in tomcat's lib directory and the error is gone now. Thanks for your help.

BTW, have you used JAAS with struts ?

Right now I have a login.jsp with action as j_securty_check. How to make the login.jsp go to or forward to another URL after being succesfuly authenticated ? Do you have any samples ?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Both the commons and server directory has java.security.AllPermission , granted by the policy file located in Tomcat's conf folder.I think this is the reason.

[Atul Mishra]

Ok Thanks.

Have you experienced this error:

message /j_security_check

description The requested resource (/j_security_check) is not available.

I get it after once it goes thru the authentication module- and if I try to do a second login.

Thanks
