[JBoss-user] help clearing a single user from authentication cache

[David Ward]

Using JDK 1.4.1_01, jboss-3.0.4_tomca-tomcat-4.1.2 on Linux.

I'm trying to clear from the authentication cache JUST a single user. Invoking flushAuthenticationCache(String) on the mbean works fine, but it flushes *all* users' security infos.

I want to call the CachePolicy's remove(Principal) method, so I tried looking up the CachePolicy in JNDI and calling it. Though I found a TimedCachePolicy in jndi under java:/timedCacheFactory/docs (docs is our app's security name), and called the remove(Principal) method successfully, it doesn't seem to do anything.

Then, I tried extending JaasSecurityManagerService, configuring the use of my class in jboss-service.xml. I see it in the JMX-Console, but for some reason my added method isn't showing up there (under list mbean operations), and I don't know how to register an MBean interface to expose it.

Please help. Again, my end goal is to flush the authentication cache for just a single user. Unfortunately, there's not a public, exposed method in the JaasSecurityManagerService that does this.

Also, below is some output from the jmx console JNDIView.

- What's up with the "Failed to lookup: timedCacheFactory?"

- When I looked up the timedCacheFactory, it's actually a $Proxy class (EJB?)

- java:jaas/docs says it's a SecurityDomainContext below, but when I look it up in code, I get a ClassCastException saying it's *really* a JaasSecurityManager! Why the descrepency? If it *was* actually a SecurityDomainContext, I could call sdc.getAuthenticationCache().remove(new SimplePrincipal("username"))!

Thanks again,
David
