[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - Authentication failure when calling an EJB

[sionut2]

Hi,
I have an ear that deploys on JBoss Portal. I created a custom login module and it correctly authenticates me. However, when I try to call an EJB method from another page I get the following exception:


  | .................
  | javax.ejb.EJBAccessException: Authentication failure
  |         at org.jboss.ejb3.security.Ejb3AuthenticationInterceptor.handleGeneralSecurityException(Ejb3AuthenticationInterceptor.java:68)
  |         at org.jboss.aspects.security.AuthenticationInterceptor.invoke(AuthenticationInterceptor.java:71)
  |         at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:101)
  |         at org.jboss.ejb3.ENCPropagationInterceptor.invoke(ENCPropagationInterceptor.java:47)
  |         at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:101)
  |         at org.jboss.ejb3.asynchronous.AsynchronousInterceptor.invoke(AsynchronousInterceptor.java:106)
  |         at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.invokeNext(MethodInvocation.java:101)

  |         at org.jboss.ejb3.stateless.StatelessLocalProxy.invoke(StatelessLocalProxy.java:79)
  | .................
  | 

I suspect the problem is related to the principal propagation, but I don't know how to fix it.

I added the following entries in our login-config.xml file , but with no success:

  | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  | <!DOCTYPE policy PUBLIC
  | 	"-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS Security Config 3.0//EN"
  | 	"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/security_config.dtd">
  | <policy>
  | 	<application-policy name="emp-mft">
  | 		<authentication>
  | 			<login-module code = "org.jboss.security.ClientLoginModule"
  | 	      			flag = "required">
  | 			</login-module>
  | 			//my login module here
  | 		</authentication>
  | 	</application-policy>
  | </policy>
  | 

Any ideas ?
