Re: JAAS login context propagation to JBoss
I tell a lie, you can't get access to the users session easily from a realm's authenticate method. Perhaps I could write a valve that looks at the request and looks up the realm the user belongs to. I could then cache the subjects in the realm and run the rest of the pipeline using doAs(subject, ). This seems awfully low level but I can't see another way. Can anyone suggest an alternative ? Surely this problem has been encountered before.

Re: JAAS login context propagation to JBoss
The feature you want has been implemented in Tomcat 5 (not in Tomcat 4.1.x). You can probably port it if you realy needs it (see http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/security/SecurityUtil.java) or starts using Tomcat 5. -- Jeanfrancois Peter Kelley wrote: I tell a lie, you can't get access to the users session easily from a realm's authenticate method.

Re: JAAS login context propagation to JBoss
I had a look at the code and I guess it could be used to do the association but what it seems to be doing is just creating a new Subject and adding the required principal (which I assume has been obtained from the servlet request) to it. If JAASRealm is used this will be a GenericPrincipal which is different to the principal obtained when doing the login (I'm using JBoss in this case). Are there any plans for Tomcat 5 to cache the subjects obtained upon login anywhere ? Also can you confirm that a valve would be the right place to do this sort of association ?
