[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - JAAS auth and accessing Principal in EJB

scott.stark@jboss.org

2007-07-06


My basic problem is that I've got Seam successfully using JAAS for authentication, however the logged-in principal is not showing up on the backend; instead I'm getting the "unauthenticatedIdentity" principal.

Jboss 4.0.5
Seam 1.2.1

I've configured JBoss to use the DatabaseServerLoginModule as such:


| <application-policy name = "tfdRealm">
| <authentication>
|  <login-module code = "org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule" flag = "required">
|   <module-option name = "unauthenticatedIdentity">guest</module-option>
|   <module-option name = "dsJndiName">java:/TFDDB</module-option>
|   <module-option name = "principalsQuery">select password from user where username=?</module-option>
|   <module-option name = "rolesQuery">select r.rolename,'Roles' from role r, user u, roleuser ru where r.roleid = ru.roleid and u.userid = ru.userid and u.username = ?</module-option>
|  </login-module>
| </authentication>
| </application-policy>
|

My components.xml contains this:

| <component name="org.jboss.seam.security.identity" jaas-config-name="tfdRealm" />
|

My login.xhtml is:


| <body>
| <h:messages />
| <h:form>
| <table border="0">
|   <tr><td>Username:</td><td><h:inputText value="#{identity.username}" /></td></tr>
|   <tr><td>Password:</td><td><h:inputSecret value="#{identity.password}" /></td></tr>
|   <tr><td><h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{identity.login}" /></td></tr>
| </table>
| </h:form>
| </body>
|

(extra XML declaration stuff omitted).

Note that I have no implemented an authenticator. Clicking the login button uses the configured policy in JBoss and everything's seems to work (valid user/pass logs in, invalid does not).

I have a session bean as follows:


| @Stateless
| @Name("todoManager")
| @SecurityDomain("tfdRealm")
| public class StatlessTodoAccess implements TodoAccess,TodoAccessRemote
| {
|   @PersistenceContext(unitName="tfd")
|   private EntityManager itsEntityManager;
|
|   @Resource
|   private SessionContext itsContext;
|
|   @Factory("allTodos")
|   public List<Todo> getAllTodos()
|   {
|      org.apache.log4j.Logger logger = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(getClass().getName());
|
|      Principal caller = itsContext.getCallerPrincipal();
|      String username = caller.getName();
|      logger.info("caller was " + username);
|
|      Query query = itsEntityManager.createQuery("select u from User u where u.username=:username");
|      query.setParameter("username",username);
|
|      try
|      {
|         User user = (User)query.getSingleResult();
|         logger.info("user has " + user.getTodos().size() + " todos");
|         return user.getTodos();
|      }
|      catch (NoResultException e)
|      {
|         logger.error("No results for " + username,e);
|         return new ArrayList<Todo>();
|      }
|
|   }
| }
|

accessed via


| <body>
| <f:view>
|   <f:verbatim>
|   <h2>To F'n Do</h2>
|   Add New: <input type="text" />
|   </f:verbatim>
|   <br />
|   <f:subview id="allTodos">
|      <h:dataTable value="#{allTodos}" var="todo">
|         <h:column><b><h:outputText value="#{todo.description}" /></b></h:column>
|      </h:dataTable>
|   </f:subview>
| </f:view>
| </body>
|

The caller princpal returned by getCallerPrincipal() is "guest" and not the username I used to log in.

I'm a bit confused by this; how can I get the EJBs to see my login (and, where did the principal/subject created by my successful login go?)

I've read a previous thread on the subject and I was extremely confused. I downloaded two examples that claim to show JAAS working with seam, however one was out-dated and the other didn't contain any code. I couldn't find any info in either to help my problem.
