jndi look up for security

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have written a custom login module.(using AbstarctLoginModule)

In its login() method I want to check the user against an active userstore.

To do this I need to look up the securitycontext to get to the userstore.

I tried doing a lookup on "security". This is returning a value of null.

any idea why? Is this because the securitycontext is a non serializable object.

Do I need to use RemoteLoginContext?

please help.

thanks a lot

Hi,

I was able to do a jndi lookup on the client side using the remote login api's.

But on the server side I am not able to do a lookup of the security service or the context.

I am getting a class cast exception.

In the session bean I did a jndi.lookup(security)

which I think gives the security service

so should be able to cast it to the RemoteServiceReference

When I cast it to that it gives a class cast exception.

Any idea how I should get a securitycontext object on the server side I need it to do authorization.

thanks

Hi,

When you lookup "remotesecurity" from an application you should do the following:

1. add in the initial context properties domain=true.

2. add a refference from the application to security.sda

3. add a reference from the application to security_api.sda
