Hi
I've read this [1] and [2] and [3] and a whole bunch of others (including the JBoss In Action book) and they all say the same thing:
1. Configure a data-source (*-ds.xml file)
2. Define a domain (conf/login-config.xml)
3. Tell the app about it:
    a. put the <security-domain> in jboss-web.xml and in the
    b. META-INF/jboss.xml
    c. add a security constraint in web.xml

4. Annotate the EJB/Web-service with the security annotations (@SecurityDomain, @WebContext and @RolesAllowed in addition to @Stateless and @Webservice)
5. build, package & deploy as an ear
6. Add the values to the request-context map of the BindingProvider when calling...and everything should work.

But nothing is working for me i.e. I keep getting a 401 error (Unauthorized). (I've been struggling with this for days now) Question is can anyone see what I'm doing wrong.

Environment: Java version: 1.5.0_22, JBoss 5.1.0 GA, JBoss Web Services - Stack Native Core (3.1.2.GA)

conf/login-config.xml (fragment)




[still gives a HTTP 401 even if I use the default JBossWS]

The datasource (I've verified that this works)




jboss-web.xml (the article [1] says its only for POJO's but it doesn't make a difference if I remove the <security-domain> tag)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
    <class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false">
        <loader-repository>
            <loader-repository-config>
                java2ParentDelegation=false
            </loader-repository-config>
        </loader-repository>
    </class-loading>
    <context-root>/verifiq</context-root>
    
    <security-domain flushOnSessionInvalidation="false">verifiq-domain</security-domain>
</jboss-web>


jboss.xml (in the ejb jar's META-INF) Same as above i.e. doesn't make a difference if I uncomment.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss>
    <security-domain>verifiq-domain</security-domain>
    
    <!--

ExpulsionStatusBean.java [intentionally skipped the contextRoot in @WebContext because:
1. it puts the context (e.g. /service) outside the app's (/verifiq) i.e. security-constraint definitions in web.xml become useless since we now have localhost:8080/services and localhost:8080/verifiq.
2. It applies that service to all the web-services in that ejb jar (even though I've explicitly asked for a different contextRoot on another web-service)

Either way, even when I access them at a different location /services/serviceName?wsdl the result is the same i.e. HTTP 401]
@Stateless
@WebService
@Local(ExplusionStatusService.class)
@SecurityDomain(value="JBossWS")
@RolesAllowed("friend")
@WebContext(authMethod="BASIC", transportGuarantee="NONE", secureWSDLAccess=false)
public class ExplusionStatusBean implements ExplusionStatusService, Serializable {
 
    @Resource
    private SessionContext context;
 
    @WebMethod
    public String expell(@WebParam(name="person") Person person) {
        String retVal = "Expelling " + person.getSchoolAssignedID();
        System.out.println("ExplusionStatusBean.expell(): invoked");
        System.out.println("ExplusionStatusBean.expell(): Student: " + person);
        System.out.println("ExplusionStatusBean.expell(): caller: " + context.getCallerPrincipal());
        System.out.println("ExplusionStatusBean.expell(): returning " + retVal);
        return retVal;
    }
}



Expeller.java (snipped just main() )
public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            log.info("Constructing...");
            ExplusionStatusBeanService esb = new ExplusionStatusBeanService(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:8080/verifiq-verifiq-ejb/ExplusionStatusBean?wsdl"));
            ExplusionStatusBean service = esb.getExplusionStatusBeanPort();
            
            log.info("Computing password");
            String password = "thefrog";
            //password = DigestUtils.md5Hex(password);
            
            //String pass =
            log.info("Setting authentication info");
            //BindingProvider bp = (BindingProvider)service;
            //Map<String, Object> authentication = bp.getRequestContext();
            ((BindingProvider)service).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "kermit");
            ((BindingProvider)service).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password);
            System.out.println("Using username kermit and password=" + password);
 
            log.info("Invoking...");
            Person person = getJudes();     // Person is just a regular JPA pojo (mapped) (with name & schoolId)
            String response = service.expell(person);
            log.info("Response receieved successfully! " + response);
 
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            log.log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }


server.log
(I'm 100% certain the user kermit->thefrog exists in both the props/jbossws-*.properties file (when I use the default JBossWS) and in the database.)

2010-10-12 01:09:07,797 DEBUG  org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule org.jboss.security.auth.spi.DatabaseServerLoginModule (http-127.0.0.1-8080-1) Bad password for username=kermit

Like I said, I'm 100% certain the kermit exists & has the role 'friend' (see attached screenshot)

Is there anything I'm missing?

web.xml (supposedly for POJOs only but I've included a snippet anyway. Doesn't matter if I comment or uncomment it out. Same result "Bad password" error)

<security-constraint>
          <web-resource-collection>
               <web-resource-name>All webservices</web-resource-name>
               <description>Protects all webservices</description>
               <url-pattern>/service</url-pattern>
          </web-resource-collection>
          <auth-constraint>
               <role-name>admissions-viewer</role-name>
               <role-name>friend</role-name>
          </auth-constraint>
     </security-constraint>

     <security-role>
          <role-name>admissions-viewer</role-name>
     </security-role>
     <security-role>
          <role-name>friend</role-name>
     </security-role>
     <security-role>
         <role-name>admissions-manager</role-name>
     </security-role>

     <login-config>
          <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
          <realm-name>Verifiq Webservices Realm</realm-name>
     </login-config>



I've gone over it countless times & I'm just frustrated. It really shouldn't be that hard to get it to work...in theory :-)

Is there anything I'm missing?
TIA,

Judes Tumuhairwe
