Shawn Jiang reassigned GERONIMO-4846:
-------------------------------------
Assignee: Shawn Jiang
> form based security for the web application does not work with Jetty WADI
> clustering.
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GERONIMO-4846
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4846
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: Clustering
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Shawn Jiang
> Assignee: Shawn Jiang
>
> This is a part of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4777, the
> major issue has been resolved with the patch from Trygve Hardersen.
> Opening this JIRA to track the remaining problems.
> ----------------------------------------
> However it does not work when combined with form based security for the web
> application. The first problem is that
> org.eclipse.jetty.security.authentication.SessionCachingAuthenticator$SessionAuthentication
> and org.eclipse.jetty.security.authentication.SessionCachingAuthenticator
> are not serializable, so they can not be sent across the network. I made
> these classes serializable, and then login works as long as there is only one
> member in the cluster (well, not really a cluster...). When there are
> multiple members in the cluster, login fails because there is no valid
> constructor for
> org.eclipse.jetty.security.authentication.SessionCachingAuthenticator$SessionAuthentication.
> I tried to add a default constructor, but it's an inner class, and it seems
> to me like theAuthenticator and UserIdentity properties are required for it
> to work so I did not try to extract the class.
> As I said login works as long as there's only one member in the cluster, but
> logout does not. Calling javax.servlet.http.HttpSession#invalidate() throws
> an exception, because the curent session can not be found:
> java.lang.AssertionError: Session
> [org.apache.geronimo.clustering.wadi.wadisessionadap...@7f488ddb] is undefined
> org.codehaus.wadi.replication.manager.ReplicationKeyNotFoundException: Key
> [ccge2q2w9dz2] does not exist
> I am attaching the patch for the WADIJettyClusteringBuilder
> (WADIJettyClusteringBuilder.patch) and a sample project JGS (jgs.tar.gz) that
> demonstrates the security problems I'm experiencing. The
> web-formlogin-clustering-plugin of the JGS project uses form based security
> and WADI clustering. The /customer page is protected, and to access it one
> must login with any username and password, as long as they are the same. Use
> test/test for instance. To test session invalidation, manually enter the URL
> /logout.
> It would be very helpful if someone can comment on the usability of WADI
> clustering in combination with Jetty7. To me it seems like it has not been
> tested much, and I think going back to Jetty6 again is the best option for
> us, unless the issues described above can be easily solved.
> Thanks for your help!
