David,

I followed your instructions, and things are now working. Thanks for helping with this. Now all I need to do is automate the described process as part of my build :)

Is there somewhere I should file a bug report for the underlying issue (IE, in the geronimo and/or Open EJB bug tracking systems), since any documentation I have read has stated that you should be able to define a security realm which uses a custom login module within an application ear?

- Brian

Thanks for the prompt response.

Could you elaborate a bit on how to "Deploy this plan into your geronimo server", or point me to some documentation which describes how to package and deploy a "config module"? I'm relatively new to geronimo, and haven't deployed artifacts other than ear files, war files, etc. Thanks.

Yup, my response was a bit hard to follow ... even the plan I told you to modify is hard to find in 2.0.2 unless you build geronimo yourself. I tried this out using a new moduleId of o.a.g.configs/ server-security-config2/2.0.2/car. Here's the plan with a few comments marked with "DAJ" about what to change:

</module>

This will end up as a file named say mysecurity-plan.xml.

Deploy this using the console "deploy new" page, unchecking the "Start app after install" checkbox.

Stop geronimo.
Edit var/config/config.xml so you  have:
<module load="false" name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/server- security-config/2.0.2/car"/>
<!-- replace this with the actual moduleId you used in the plan -->
<module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/server-security- config2/2.0.2/car"/>

at the end.

Edit var/config/artifact_aliases.properties to include lines
org.apache.geronimo.configs/server-security-config// car=org.apache.geronimo.configs/server-security-config2/2.0.2/car org.apache.geronimo.configs/server-security-config/2.0.2/ car=org.apache.geronimo.configs/server-security-config2/2.0.2/car

(again using the actual moduleId from your plan)

Now you should be able to start geronimo and it will use your security config instead of the supplied one.

You should be able to deploy the plan using the command line tool but I didn't try that. Note that you can have only one of the original config and your replacement running at once since they have security realms with the same name (they are supposed to replace each other).

Hope this helps and please ask if there are more problems

My guess is that Aaron is right and this is an openejb bug.

The only way I can think to fix it is to replace the server- security- config module with one that is identical except also including the jar containing your login module as a dependency and the security realm configuration you want. Deploy this plan into your geronimo server. Also, while geronimo is stopped, add a line like

org.apache.geronimo.configs/server-security-config/2.0.2/ car=com.myco/ myserver-security-config/1.0/car

and another similar line without the 2.0.2 to var/config/ artifact_aliases.properties (where com.myco/myserver-security- config/ 1.0/car is the moduleId of your replacement plan). When you restart geronimo the realm should work.

I actually recommend doing this for any non-toy geronimo installation. The provided server-security-config is really an example that's easy to set up, but on a real installation you probably want access to the admin console controlled by your enterprise security system, not a couple of property files stuck in a geronimo directory.

let us know how this works

It's curious that, from the error, it appears to be looking for the
security realm in the OpenEJB class loader (which I guess is  receiving
the remote call) instead of the application's class loader.  Perhaps
the context class loader should be set by e.g.
EjbDaemon.processAuthRequest?

Thanks,

Hi.

I have created a simple custom login module which uses the principal created by the standard PropertiesFileLoginModule and adds a principal containing a group (which is looked up in a DB). I have configured a security realm in the geronimo-application.xml contained in my application ear file including
both of these login modules as follows:

                    <log:option
name="groupsURI">var/security/groups.properties</log:option>
                </log:login-module>
                <log:login-module control-flag="OPTIONAL"
wrap-principals="false">
<log:login-domain-name>my-sql-role</ log:login- domain-name> <log:login-module- class>my.company.security.realm.providers.SqlRoleLoginModule</ log:login-module-class>
                    <log:option name="roleSelect">SELECT username,
group_name FROM user_groups WHERE username=?</log:option>
                    <log:option

<log:option name="dataSourceName">MyPool</ log:option>
                </log:login-module>
            </log:login-config>
        </xml-reference>
    </gbean>

Further, I have packaged the
"my.company.security.realm.providers.SqlRoleLoginModule" class in a jar file (my-login-module-1.0.jar). I have tried the following approaches to get
this login module to load:

   - Added my-login-module-1.0.jar to the root of my ear file.

- Added my-login-module-1.0.jar to the root of my ear file and added this jar file to the MANIFEST classpath of an ejb-jar file which is also in the
ear file.

- Added my-login-module-1.0.jar to the geronimo repository by placing it in the repository/my/company/my-login-module/1.0/my-login- module-1.0.jar
     and added the following dependency to the dependency list  in the
environment section of my geronimo-application.xml file:

           <dependency>
                <groupId>my.company</groupId>
                <artifactId>my-login-module</artifactId>
                <version>1.0</version>
                <type>jar</type>
            </dependency>

I am attempting to connect/authenicate in a remote JVM by setting up the
JNDI context and performing an EJB lookup as follows:

  Properties p = new Properties();
  p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
  "org.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
  p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ejbd://localhost:4201");
  p.put("openejb.authentication.realmName", "my-realm");
  p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "my_username");
  p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "my_password");
  InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(p);
  Object obj = ctx.lookup("MyBusinessBeanRemote");

In all cases, I get the following error:

Caused by: javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: unable to find

I know that the dependency is getting at least recognized at ear deployment
time since, if I remove the login module jar file from the geronimo
repository, the deployment of the ear fails.

The only way I have been able to get the class to load is by placing it in the lib/ext directory of my JRE installation, which doesn't seem like the correct approach. I am using geronimo 2.0.2 on Windows XP and the 1.6.0_03
Sun JVM.  Any help with resolving this issue, and getting  geronimo to
correctly load this login module class, would be greatly appreciated. If
any additional information is needed, please let me know.  Thanks.
