--------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

We are trying to switch jboss messaging to use ldap as a user source on a JBoss 
5.1 GA.

in the file
\server\nodeX\deploy\messaging\messaging-jboss-beans.xml

There is a part that defines the application-policy and the default is to take 
the users from the data base


<application-policy xmlns="urn:jboss:security-beans:1.0" name="messaging">
     <authentication>
          <login-module 
code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule" flag="required">
               <module-option 
name="unauthenticatedIdentity">guest</module-option>
               <module-option name="dsJndiName">java:/DefaultDS</module-option>
               <module-option name="principalsQuery">SELECT PASSWD FROM 
JBM_USER WHERE USER_ID=?</module-option>
               <module-option name="rolesQuery">SELECT ROLE_ID, 'Roles' FROM 
JBM_ROLE WHERE USER_ID=?</module-option>
          </login-module>
     </authentication>
</application-policy>




We have tried switching this part of the xml to take the users from the ldap 
like in here.


<application-policy xmlns="urn:jboss:security-beans:1.0" name="messaging">
        <authentication>
            <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapLoginModule"
                          flag="required">
          <module-option name="unauthenticatedIdentity">guest</module-option>
                <module-option name="java.naming.factory.initial"> 
                    com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
                    </module-option>
                <module-option name="java.naming.provider.url">
                    ldap://OUR_LDAP_SERVER_NAME/
                </module-option>
                <module-option name="java.naming.security.authentication">
                    simple
                </module-option>
                <!-- Rebind as a user with search priviledges for the role 
queries cn=Root,dc=jboss,dc=org-->
                <module-option 
name="java.naming.security.principal">CN=OUR_LDAP_BIND_NAME,CN=Users,DC=OUR_LDAP_SERVER_NAME,DC=local</module-option>                   
 
                <module-option 
name="java.naming.security.credentials">OUR_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD</module-option>                   
 
             <!-- was uid= but we are using CN= -->
                <module-option 
name="principalDNPrefix">CN=</module-option>                    
                <module-option 
name="principalDNSuffix">,OU=jbossUsers,DC=OUR_LDAP_SERVER_NAME,DC=local</module-option>
                <module-option 
name="rolesCtxDN">OU=jbossRoles,DC=OUR_LDAP_SERVER_NAME,DC=local</module-option>
                <module-option name="uidAttributeID">member</module-option>
                <module-option name="matchOnUserDN">true</module-option>
                <module-option name="roleAttributeID">cn</module-option>
                <module-option name="roleAttributeIsDN">false</module-option>
                <module-option name="searchTimeLimit">5000</module-option>
                <module-option name="searchScope">ONELEVEL_SCOPE</module-option>
            </login-module>
        </authentication>
</application-policy>





The ldap configuration we are trying works for other appliction-policies we 
have defined in the login_config.xml of the server so we think that the ldap 
config is ok. We had to define an unauthenticated identity for the messaging, 
that we do not normally define, with user name guest, otherwise all sort of 
things fail when the server boots.

Question number 1.
- Why do we need the unauthenticated identity?
Question number 2.
- The user guest is already defined on our ldap (windows active directory) with 
a different password. It is not username guest password guest.
   Could this be a source of problems?
Question number 3.
- In the default database that comes with jboss messaging there is a bunch of 
users and roles defined on the tables JBM_USER, JBM_ROLE.
  Which of these users and roles are necessary for jboss messaging to work?
Question number 4
 - After making this change on the xml, and defining our users on the active 
directory / ldap the messaging seems not to be working. Saying that
"ouruser is not authenticated". Has anyone tried to switch from database to 
ldap jboss messaging?

Thanks in advance,

Nikos
