After removing <container-managed-security /> from geronimo-ra.xml and res-auth element from jackrabbit resource-ref in web.xml it works.

Excellent!



jackrabbit in my case is running in-vm so i remove any pooling.

Thanks to all for help.

ps. still my ultimate goal is to go for container managed security, so i look for code to realize that.

I'm happy to provide advice but I'm not subscribed to the jackrabbit lists (and can't deal with any more mailing lists). If you ask questions here on the g. user list I'll do my best to answer.

My impression from the link you gave earlier was that jackrabbit currently uses the supplied username and password to log into a JAAS realm to get a Subject which is then used for authorization. If this is correct then you ought to be able to simply pass the Subject from container managed security directly through to the authorization code. This is not exactly what is envisaged by the J2CA spec but I expect it would work better than what is normally done. In this case you wouldn't need to set up the special ManagedConnectionFactory-aware login module.

The other possibility I can see is to use the spec-recommended approach and extract the username/password from the MCF-specific Credential in the container-managed-security Subject.

Here is configuration documentation:
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-configuration.html#JackrabbitConfiguration-Securityconfiguration

After read this documentation i thought that i do not need to use jaas, but now i realize that there is jaas available and in geronimo-ra.xml i found element <container-managed-security /> so i'm actually using container managed security.

So how to configure that (geronimo documentation is little bit confusing)?

I looked around the somewhat confusingly organized jackrabbit svn (j2ca stuff seems to be present only in branches???) and found http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/branches/1.5/jackrabbit-jca which seems like it might bear some resemblance to the code you are using. This code does not support container managed security at all. Unless you want to add this capability to jackrabbit you need to stop configuring container managed security in your geronimo plan.

If you do want to add this capability to jackrabbit, the place to start is in http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/branches/1.5/jackrabbit-jca/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/jca/JCAManagedConnectionFactory.java?annotate=703899

162 : public ManagedConnection createManagedConnection(Subject subject, ConnectionRequestInfo cri)
163 :                 throws ResourceException {
164 : dpfister 510465 165 : if (cri == null) {
166 :                 return new AnonymousConnection();
167 :                 }
168 : dpfister 230772 return createManagedConnection((JCAConnectionRequestInfo) cri);
169 :                 }


and

182 : public ManagedConnection matchManagedConnections(Set set, Subject subject, ConnectionRequestInfo cri)
183 :                 throws ResourceException {
184 : for (Iterator i = set.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
185 :                 Object next = i.next();
186 : 187 : if (next instanceof JCAManagedConnection) { 188 : JCAManagedConnection mc = (JCAManagedConnection) next;
189 :                 if (equals(mc.getManagedConnectionFactory())) {
190 : JCAConnectionRequestInfo otherCri = mc.getConnectionRequestInfo();
191 :                 if (equals(cri, otherCri)) {
192 :                 return mc;
193 :                 }
194 :                 }
195 :                 }
196 :                 }
197 :                198 :                 return null;
199 :                 }


where the Subject supplied from container managed security is ignored.

Out of curiousity, does jackrabbit run in-vm or are connections to a remote server? If in-vm it might be better to run with pooling turned off as it is likely that creating a new managed connection is lighter weight than the synchronization involved in pooling existing connections.

Could you point to some documentation on the JCARepositoryHandle and the ra.xml for this connector?

For container managed security you need to use something like the plugins/connector/geronimo-connector/src/main/java/org/apache/ geronimo/connector/outbound/security/ CallerIdentityPasswordCredentialLoginModule.java which you can deploy in a JAAS configuration using the PasswordCredentialLoginModuleWrapperGBean.java

Since you are trying to supply the credentials in what appears to be a "get connection" call I wonder if you actually want container managed security?
