Hello,
We have a security realm issue that we’re requesting some insight for.
Searched the forums but couldn't find same issue.
We are running multiple instances from one repository, and have
configured a
server-wide LDAP security realm in one instance that successfully
authenticates for an application deployed from that instance. When
an application is configured to use that same security realm in
another
instance running from the same repository, the credentials windows
appears
as normal, but when valid credentials are entered in the
authentication box
and committed, the box disappears as normal, but authentication fails.
The only entry in the geronimo.out log file is “mortbay.log AUTH
FAILURE:
user foo”
The realm is not visible from any instance other than the originating
instance, and that is understandable, but is this a limitation with
security
realms and multiple instances?
Does “server-wide” mean per instance only?
yes. The terms "server-wide" vs "application" are extremely
misleading and I've been trying to get people to stop using them for
years. It has something to do with the lifetime of a components
deployment rather than much to do with its visibility. In any case
the instances all running on one repository are different "servers".
thanks
