JAAS custom LoginModule

Question

I'm trying to write my costum LoginModule to be used in my REST service with Basic authorization. For this I made following:

1. I wrote my own LoginModule that is called QuarkLoginModule.

2. Added following snippet to web.xml:

    <security-role> <role-name>researcher</role-name> </security-role> <security-constraint> <display-name>SecurityConstraint</display-name> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Schedule</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/ws/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>researcher</role-name> </auth-constraint> <user-data-constraint> <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee> </user-data-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>quark</realm-name> </login-config> 

3. Created file in /ejb/src/main/resources/META-INF/login.config with following contents:

    quark { edu.quark.auth.QuarkLoginModule required debug=true; } 

4. Added following to JBoss runtime configuration to VM arguments section:

    "-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/home/desertfox/Dresden/cbse/quark/ams-quark-1/ejb/src/main/resources/META-INF/login.config" 

5. Added following snippet to standalone.xml:

    <security-domain name="quark" cache-type="default"> <authentication> <login-module code="edu.quark.auth.QuarkLoginModule" flag="sufficient"> <module-option name="roles" value="researcher"/> <module-option name="realm" value="quark"/> </login-module> </authentication> </security-domain> 

But instead of calling my LoginModule I receive a error message about wrong name/password all the time. And I get following exception:

02:43:44,825 ERROR [org.jboss.security.authentication.JBossCachedAuthenticationManager] (http-localhost-127.0.0.1-8080-1) Login failure: javax.security.auth.login.FailedLoginException: Password Incorrect/Password Required

As I can see, instead of my module, some default one is called UsersRolesLoginModule .

Could you tell me, please, what else could I try?

Answer 1

Maybe you are not setting the correct security domain "quark"? This can be done using a jboss-web.xml or using the org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.SecurityDomain annotation.
