Reading an env. variable in JAAS login module

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a JAAS login module wherein I want to add a static block to read certain properties from a file. Is there any property within WAS 6.40 wherein I can set the file path and read it using System.getProperty in my JAAS login module?

I do not want to use the options method. Any other way to approach this problem will be helpful.

regards,

try setting it into jvm as java parameter using the config tool. java parameter should be set for the instance node and the server sub-node under the instance node. use the -D syntax.

i did it for accessing a property file.

Thanks Wenton,

That worked

BTW I only added the JVM property to the server sub-node under the instance node. That solved the issue.
