Re: use jnp as general purpose naming service? Re: [JBoss-user] persistent bind to jnp possible?

[Scott M Stark]

The jnp implementation does not support persistent storage of bindings. You
will have to federate with some other JNDI provider that does this.

The stack trace is from the point where the JMX MLet loads beans from the jboss.conf

likely that you tried to place your entry in jboss.conf?

Re: [JBoss-user] Anyone know how to federate across multiple jnp ...

Its been about a week. Here is a simple test that works against the current cvs:

jboss 722>cat tstNS.java
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.naming.*;

class tstNS
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws NamingException
{
Properties env = new Properties();
env.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, 
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
env.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");
env.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES , 
"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(env);
System.out.println("Connected to JNDI");
}
}
jboss 723>java -classpath "/tmp/cvs/jboss/dist/client/jnp-client.jar;." tstNS
Connected to JNDI
jboss 724>

Most likely your using a jndi.properties that does not include the org.jnp.interfaces
package in the URL_PKG_PREFIXES if this does not work for you.

Re: [JBoss-user] Anyone know how to federate across multiple jnp ...

[Scott M Stark]

jnp is the name of the jndi provider used by JBoss and is the protocol
url just as t3 is the weblogic's.
The jnp.properties file is used as the default values. If you don't set the port
values via the NamingService mbean attributes then the jnp.properties file
is used.

This jboss.jcml entry:
  
along with this jnp.properties file:
### JNP server configuration
jnp.port=1299
jnp.rmiPort=0

results in the naming service starting on port 1299:

Re: [JBoss-user] how to actually log from beans, JSPs, etc. (using the included log4j)

[Scott M Stark]

You have to configure the Log4jService to have the legacy jboss logging
pass through log4j. After that you use log4j as you would anywhere
else. Beans should simply use log4j directly.

Subject: [JBoss-user] question


Hi from a new Jboss user.

I have a probably simple question.  In the jboss documentation, there exists 
a class with the following line, which is describing how to change the setup
of an initialContext to allow bean clients to connect from a machine other than
the one the server is running on:

IMPORTANT: If you want to test this in a real client-server
configuration, this class goes on the client; the URL of the naming provider
specifed in the class must be changed from 'localhost:1099' to the URL of the
naming service on the server


I have the IP address of the server machine, but can't seem to format the URL
correctly.  If the server ip is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, I've tried all of these:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1099
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1099
ldap://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1099
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1099

as you can see, I have no idea what the correct protocol is for finding JNDI
on the jBoss server.   Could anyone shed some light?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The only fix is to use the latest cvs version and make sure your jndi.properties
includes both the org.jboss.naming and org.jnp.interfaces in the
Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, for example:

java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://serverhost:1099

Re: [JBoss-user] seperate context

[Scott M Stark]

Are there no jars in the classpath or lib/ext directory that are used by the
beans? Are there any exception being generated?

Re: [JBoss-user] catching all runtime exceptions in one place ??

[Scott M Stark]

My suggestion would be to use a custom log4j appender that only
looked for runtime exceptions and routed them as required. There
isn't one entry point into JBoss unless your talking just about EJB
access, in which case you could replace the LogInterceptor, there
isn't one point to collect all RuntimeExceptions

A descriptor like this:

com.asset.SMTPAdapterBean

requires this:




com.asset.SMTPAdapter
com.asset.SMTPAdapterHome




for a client to be able to do this:

For the jsp issue you need to include a jboss-web.xml descriptor in the WEB-INF
dir to map the ejb-refs in the web-app.xml descriptor to the deployment jndi name:

   
 ejb/UserAuthority
 ejb/UserAuthority

Re: [JBoss-user] Question on Security Role Mapping

[Scott M Stark]

The ejb-jar.xml roles are logical names. Where are you getting that they
are the principal name? The tutorial demonstrates that they are not
by securing the beans using a roles of Echo & Coder, to which the principal
names are mapped via the JAAS login module. The ejb-jar.xml descriptor
is completely portable to JBoss.

The only difference is that JBoss does not do the mapping via the jboss.xml
descriptor directly. Rather the  element specifies
the security manger instance that does this at runtime based on the authenticated
principal name.

Re: [JBoss-user] java:/comp/env problems?

[Scott M Stark]

The java:comp/env namespace is a J2EE notion that applies to both
J2EE ejb & web components. The ejb spec goes into some detail
on this and the j2ee spec generalizes this. The servlet spec briefly
mentions the java:comp/env namespace and defers to the j2ee spec.

Re: [JBoss-user] SSL + Jaas

I haven't tried Tomcat/SSL so I would guess the credentials
are being stored differently and the JbossRealm needs to
access them differently. Can you post how your configuring
Tomcat with SSL so I can look into it?

Re: [JBoss-user] NamingService initialization problems--ConnectionException

[Scott M Stark]

The problem is the warning msg displayed at the start
of the server startup regarding the jndi.properties
file. You have a jndi.properties file in your classpath
that most likely contains a provider url which puts
the naming service in client mode and so fails to connect
to the non-existant server. Remove the jndi.properties
file from you classpath and all will be fine.

Re: [JBoss-user] JBoss security question

[Scott M Stark]

My reading of the spec is that if no roles have been assigned to a method
then
it is not acessible. This is base on these two paragraphs from page 233 of
the
1.1 spec:


Method permissions are defined in the deployment descriptor as a binary
relation from the set of security
roles to the set of methods of the home and remote interfaces of the
enterprise beans, including all
their superinterfaces (including the methods of the EJBHome and EJBObject
interfaces). The
method permissions relation includes the pair (R, M) if and only if the
security role R is allowed to
invoke the method M.

...

It is possible that some methods are not assigned to any security roles.
This means that none of the security
roles defined by the Application Assembler needs access to the methods.

There is supposed to be a jndi.properties file in the conf/default or

We have a servlet that loads static data into the application object through
our entity beans; everything is running in jboss /w embedded tomcat.
Because Embedded Tomcat starts before the EJB container the servlet can't
get to the data.   I moved embedded tomcat to the end of the load sequence
(jboss.jcml) and it worked but .ear's can't be deployed.  Other than a
timer, is their a signal/listener that i can register with to wait for JBoss
to deploy the beans so I can then let the servlet go do it's thing?  Should
I just do a shell script to force the initialization of the servlet
immediately following jboss loading.  This doesn't really seem to warrant an
mbean.
Has anyone tackled something like this yet?

Re: [JBoss-user] NamingService initialization problems--ConnectionException

[Scott M Stark]

I'm not sure which version of JBoss your using so lets get in synch on that point.
What version are you using?

I use cygwin on w2k as well and the only time I came across the issue you mention
is when I first rebuilt the jnp JNDI provider code and dropped it onto the 2.2.0
release. This is when I saw that there had been a change to the jnp code that had
not been tested against the jboss code and so I updated the NamingService code to
not attempt to start the jnp provider in initService.

If you using a cygwin sh to start JBoss post that as well in case there is some cygwin
issue although I doubt it.

It should be a simple fix to the startApplication /stopApplication code of the
org.jboss.deployment.J2eeDeployer class.

Right now the web modules are deployed before the ejb modules. Just switch the
order of the two code fragments. I'll look at it tomorrow but if you have a tested
fix before then just post the patch to sourceforge.

It seems like you would have to wait for the container to deploy

That is a valid point as I can't find any clear statement in the spec that indicates
a web component should be able to access an ejb component in its init method.
Since web components do have a load on startup option, it does make sense
to load them last and unload first when deploying an ear.

JBoss ejb jars are pretty trivial constructs in ant because there is no stub

Re: [JBoss-user] 2nd Deployment Fails

[Scott M Stark]

You can't deploy the custom catgory and factory in the
same jar as the ejb-jar because each deployment results
in a new type of TraceCategory. In Java the identity of
a class is determined by both the class name and its
ClassLoader. The first time you deploy it works and the
log4j Category class saves away the TraceCategory
instance with a category name of MyMDB.class.getName()
in the Hierarchy instance hashtable. On subsequent deployments
a new instance is not created because a category with
the name MyMDB.class.getName() already exists but its
type != the TraceCategory in the newly loaded ejb-jar
because different ClassLoaders were used.

You have to put your log4j customizations in the JBoss
lib/ext directory or some other path added via the
ClassPathExtension MBean.

Re: [JBoss-user] Please help :-( tomcat Servlet => Jboss EJB => JAAS Authentiaction

[Scott M Stark]

Currently(JBoss-2.2.1) the security information that is obtained
from the server request is stored in a ThreadLocal and so
is only available to the request thread. You need to propagate
the security information to any child threads.

As of JBoss-2.3, security information is stored in an
InheritableThreadLocal and so is propgated automatically
to any child threads.

It sounds like your trying to statically configure a potentially large
dynamic namespace. Why not look into using JINI to create a
self configuring namespace. Its simple to load a file from a URL,
but since you need a unique URL for each unique jndi.properties
file you have to setup a URL namespace to access your JNDI
namspace setup.

Re: [JBoss-user] problem with authentication

[Scott M Stark]

This is a bug in the JAAS login config file class. It is not thread safe and
when multiple login threads run at the same time it can produce the error
your seeing. I thought I added a synchronization that would prevent this
from happening. The workaround it to have a single thread force a
load of the login configuration file so that when the frames all try to
access secured beans they don't cause the ConfigFile to be loaded
by multiple threads.

Re: [JBoss-user] Message Driven Beans test problem

[Scott M Stark]

Every jar in lib/ext is automatically loaded. The fact that you have to insert two
jars ahead of your existing CLASSPATH to get things to work indicates that
you have an incompatible jar(s) in your CLASSPATH(like j2ee.jar) that is preventing
the loading of class files from the corresponding JBoss bundled jars. Cleanup
or don't use the global CLASSPATH.

The ejb-name DurableTopicBean should be MDB in the container-transaction element

Re: [JBoss-user] Please help :-( tomcat Servlet => Jboss EJB => JAAS Authentiaction

[Scott M Stark]

If by client side you mean a client running in a VM external to the JBoss
server VM, then this is the expected default behavior. Multi-threaded clients
need to enable the thread local storage mode of the SecurityAssociation
class by either calling SecurityAssociation.setServer() or equivalently
adding a multi-threaded=true option to the JAAS ClientLoginModule config:

other {
org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule  required multi-threaded=true ;
};

So add a client configuration entry to the server auth.conf and use it for your

two example tomcat request interceptors that integrate into the JBoss security

The synchronization was removed so what your seeing is expected. You
could force a load of the auth.conf file on server startup by either creating an
mbean or a servlet that is loaded on startup that created a LoginContext.

There is nothing you can do since you can't unload a class in general, and
you certainly can't unload a class that is being used as is the case here
since the Category is keeping track of its instances in a hashtable.

Not if there are being shared across deployment jars. In this case they should
be loaded by a class loader that is a parent class loader to all classes using
the shared class.

Use the J2EE declarative security for both web content and EJBs and you
are able to secure your content/objects without adding security to your code.
When the 2.2.2 release is made next week there will be an updated version
of the JAAS security tutorial that shows how to do this using a database.

The slow startup has been fixed in main. The problem is that the startup code was

The only time I have seen the nul problem is when both the legacy logging and

Re: [JBoss-user] JAAS & JBossSX vs Application Security

[Scott M Stark]

Reliance on static files is not a requirement; its simply the default mode. In
the JBossSX codebase is an example custom javax.security.auth.Policy 
implementation that obtains permission info from a IAppPolicyStore which
could be a database, ldap server, etc. The prototype uses an xml file.

JNDI cannot be secured via JAAS currently simply because it does not
make any permission checks. A future version of jnp will support secured
access via subject based permissions.

Re: [JBoss-user] A message appears millions times in my JBoss startup window until I kill the window

[Scott M Stark]

Using what version of JBoss and have you made any changes to
jboss.conf to enable the Log4jService?

System.out and System.err are intercepted to route through either the
legacy JMX based logging or the Log4jService console appender so
when BasicConfigurator tries to setup System.out a loop is being
established somewhere. Configuration should be done outside of EJBs
via an mbean. You don't know whose toes your stepping on when trying
to do the configuration from within an EJB.

Re: [JBoss-user] Losing principal from tomcat servlet, and yet authenticated

[Scott M Stark]

The documentation describes an external client that has its own auth.conf
login configuration file. To perform a client login within the same VM as the
application server you need to either change the server's auth.conf file to
have the "other" configuration section equal to that of the default client, or
create a "TestClient"(or whatever name you pass to LoginContext) to authenticate
against the org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule, for example, 

TestClient {
org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule  required;
};

I'll add support for externalizing the RMI socket factories so that you

This puts the server in single client mode and all method invocations will
see the credentials of the last user to authenticate. This will not work in
a multi-user environment.

A new 2.2.2 release will be out this week that allows a servlet request to
spawn threads and keep the request principal info associated with the
child threads.

Re: [JBoss-user] Losing principal from tomcat servlet, and yet authenticated

[Scott M Stark]

Look at jbosstest/src/main/org/jboss/test/web/servlets/ClientLoginServlet.java
for an example of a servlet doing a JAAS login in order to access a secure EJB.
For the auth.conf you have below the servlet would create a LoginContext as
CallbackHandler handler = ...
LoginContext lc = new LoginContext("HouseOfHarlots", handler);
lc.login();

That fact that default/auth.conf is read rather than tomcat/auth.conf is a bundling
problem that will be fixed in the next release.

I don't see this in my security test cases so you'll have to describe why you

The Tomcat JDBCRealm would not be used in the new version. Instead the
DatabaseServerLoginModule would be used and it just uses the configured
DataSources to access the database. The connection will be as reliable as the
database pool.

msgs are no longer relevant. See the JAAS tutorial for example usage of
the DatabaseServerLoginModule.

Try upgrading to 2.2.1+ and then use the NamingService mbean port attribute

[JBoss-user] JBoss 2.2.2 Release available

[Scott M Stark]

A new 2.2.2 maintenance release is available at sourceforge from the Files section
of the jboss.org project: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866
along with the change notes.

It includes a few bug fixes and a few enhancements including a new AbstractWebContainer
support mbean that allows for complete integration of web application JNDI ENC
as well as secured access using the same JBossSX security layer as used by the
EJB framework. A new JBoss-2.2.2_Tomcat-3.2.2 bundle is included in the release
to demonstrate the new integration. Jetty and other third party web containers will
be able to achieve the same level of integration by extending the AbstractWebContainer.

See the updated JAAS tutorial for an example of a secured EAR.

Re: [JBoss-user] :-| Security Roles

[Scott M Stark]

You cannot as part of the standard EJB api. You can only ask if a user
has a role.

You can see the roles the current user has if you access the JaasSecurityManager
from JNDI and get the active Subject. This is a JBoss specfic mechanism.

Re: [JBoss-user] :-| Security Roles

[Scott M Stark]

The JBossSX chapter describes the security manager details. There
are no security restrictions to accessing JNDI currently. If you are running
with a security manager then there are permissions required to
access the Subject information. A sample for iterating the roles
assigned to the current user for an EJB secured under the a security-domain
element value of java:/jaas/mySecureDomain is:

import java.security.acl.Group;
import javax.security.auth.Subject;
import org.jboss.security.SubjectSecurityManager;

InitialContext ctx = new IntialContext();
SubjectSecurityManager secMgr = (SubjectSecurityManager) 
ctx.lookup("java:/jaas/mySecureDomain");
Subject subject = secMgr.getActiveSubject();
Set subjectGroups = subject.getPrincipals(Group.class);
Iterator iter = subjectGroups.iterator();
Enumeration userRoles = null;
while( iter.hasNext() )
{
Group grp = (Group) iter.next();
String name = grp.getName();
if( name.equals("Roles") )
   {
userRoles = grp.members();
break;
}
}

The deployment tool should be ok for the basic j2ee stuff but you won't
be able to setup your JNDI ENC bindings without using the jboss specific

that should be handled by the application.xml context name and web-app

This is a basic how to I secure a servlet question and can be handled with the
2.2 Servlet spec declarative security model.

In JBoss anyone can lookup the EJB home interface. Invocation of any

spec declarative security model.

Both of these are described in the online JAAS howto which can be found
here: http://www.jboss.org/documentation/HTML/ch11s83.html

I've been looking into this issue today with a simple rmi client/server example and
this does not appear to be a bug in the JBoss code. Rather, it appears to be a
limitiation or design feature of dynamic class loading in the Sun jrmp implementation.

[Scott M Stark]

The web-app.xml in the comment is incorrect. Its really talking about the
web.xml
document web-app child elements. The war descriptor parsing did change in
2.2.2, but I thought it was compatible with previous versions. This is based
on the
units tests so your usage of the descriptors must not be convered by the
tests.
Post a bug to sourceforge that includes all of your deployment descriptors
and
I'll track down the problem.

The same deploys without problems for me. Have you made any changes to the
