http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22236 JNDI Realm authentication to Novell eDirectory via LDAP Summary: JNDI Realm authentication to Novell eDirectory via LDAP Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.27 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to setup JNDI authentication for the Administrator and Manager pages to learn how to use the JNDI Realm. But if debug is enabled (I have it set to 99 to be really verbose) I am getting a java null pointer exception. Looking at the JNDIRealm.java file it appears it is barfing in a debug statement. Below is how I did it... I created a JNDI Realm in the server.xml file. <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" debug="99" connectionURL="ldap://192.168.1.23:389"; connectionName="cn=adminx,ou=zpar,o=med" connectionPassword="zparpwd" userPattern="cn={0},ou=zpar,o=med" roleBase="ou=zpar,o=med" roleName="cn" roleSearch="(uniqueMember={0})" /> I Created an admin user to authenticate the ldap directory named: cn=adminx,ou=zpar,o=med I created a test user cn=test,ou=zpar,o=med I created two groups cn=admin,ou=zpar,o=med and cn=manager,ou=zpar,o=med. I added the test user to both groups. I then launched my browser and tried to access the Adminstrator page. When the login page appears, I enter the information for my test user, and I never get the admin page, but... This is an excerpt from my ldap trace on my netware server: DoBind on connection 0xc9206aa0 DoBind: name = 'cn=adminx,ou=zpar,o=med', client version = 3, method = 0x80 Sending operation result 0:"":"" to connection 0xc9206aa0 DoSearch on connection 0xc9206aa0 Search request: base: "ou=zpar,o=med" scope:1 derefence:3 sizelimit:0 timelimit:0 attrsonly:0 filter: "(uniqueMember=cn=test,ou=zpar,o=med)" attribute: "cn" Sending search result entry "cn=manager,ou=zpar,o=med" to connection 0xc9206aa0 Sending search result entry "cn=admin,ou=zpar,o=med" to connection 0xc9206aa0 Sending operation result 0:"":"" to connection 0xc9206aa0 This is an excerpt from my catalina log file (catalina_log.2003-08-07.txt): 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: lookupUser(test) 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: dn=cn=test,ou=zpar,o=med 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: validating credentials by binding as the user 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: binding as cn=test,ou=zpar,o=med 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: Username test successfully authenticated 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: getRoles(cn=test,ou=zpar,o=med) 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: Searching role base 'ou=zpar,o=med' for attribute 'cn' 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: With filter expression '(uniqueMember=cn=test,ou=zpar,o=med)' 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: retrieving values for attribute cn 2003-08-07 22:23:16 JNDIRealm[Standalone]: retrieving values for attribute cn 2003-08-07 22:23:16 CoyoteAdapter An exception or error occurred in the container during the request processing java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm.getRoles(JNDIRealm.java:1282) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm.authenticate(JNDIRealm.java:871) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm.authenticate(JNDIRealm.java:788) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator.authenticate (FormAuthenticator.java:263) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke (AuthenticatorBase.java:481) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNex t(StandardPipeline.java:641) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke (StandardPipeline.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.invoke (StandardContext.java:2416) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke (StandardHostValve.java:180) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNex t(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorDispatcherValve.invoke (ErrorDispatcherValve.java:171) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNex t(StandardPipeline.java:641) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke (ErrorReportValve.java:172) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNex t(StandardPipeline.java:641) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke (StandardPipeline.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke (StandardEngineValve.java:174) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokeNex t(StandardPipeline.java:643) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke (StandardPipeline.java:480) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:995) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteAdapter.service (CoyoteAdapter.java:223) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process (Http11Processor.java:601) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnectio n(Http11Protocol.java:392) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt (PoolTcpEndpoint.java:565) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run (ThreadPool.java:619) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
