META-INF/orion-application.xml --> should have the group/role mapping META-INF/principals.xml ---> should have the groups listed which are in your user database, and permissions for their access ... regards, the elephantwalker www.elephantwalker.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Anil D Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 6:16 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: User Manager Questions Hi all I have some questions regarding the use of UserManager I have implemented a custom User Manager in our application and specified it in the orion-application.xml. On server startup the init method of the UserManager is executed, but while trying to login from an Application Client(Swing) it wasnt going to any of the Methods in my Custom User Manager. It was only allowing the users in my principals.xml. Is it supposed to work this way? How do I allow the usernames in my databases to login? I also tried to use the RoleManager. But when I try to lookup RoleManager from the Client side it throws a name not found exception. TIA Anil
