I'm trying to encrypt my database password using a JBOSS security domain. I've followed the instructions in the documentation and it all seems pretty simple. I'm using jboss 5.0.1GA. It was working fine before I tried to set up password encryption.
The datasource is defined in oracle-ds.xml as follows:
<datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>OracleDS</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbhost:1521:db</connection-url>
<driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
<!-- app works fine when you use unencrypted password like this
<user-name>username</user-name>
<password>unencrypted_pass</password>
-->
<!-- Use the security domain defined in conf/login-config.xml for username and encrypted password-->
<security-domain>Encrypt-my-Password</security-domain>
....etc
The login-config.xml file contains this entry:
<application-policy name="Encrypt-my-Password">
<authentication>
<login-module
code="org.jboss.resource.security.SecureIdentityLoginModule"
flag="required">
<module-option name="username">databaseUsername</module-option>
<module-option name="password">232487h4873hf4</module-option>
<module-option name="managedConnectionFactoryName">jboss.jca:service=LocalTxCM,name=OracleDS</module-option>
</login-module>
</authentication>
</application-policy>
As soon as I started using this config the application throws an exception as follows when you try to access the datasource:
java.lang.SecurityException: Unauthenticated caller:null

I'm trying to encrypt my database password using a JBOSS security domain.

....etc
The login-config.xml file contains this entry:
<application-policy name="Encrypt-my-Password">

flag="required">

<module-option name="managedConnectionFactoryName">jboss.jca:service=LocalTxCM,name=OracleDS</module-option>
</login-module>
</authentication>
</application-policy>
NB the ErSecureIdentityLoginModule is a class already used to encrypt / decrypt DB passwords in another application, where it works fine.
As soon as I started using this config the application throws an exception as follows when you try to access the datasource:

I downloaded the source code for jboss 5.0.1GA and debugged with TRACE enabled. There is an interesting stack trace produced:
2012-03-12 18-13-40:Login failure
javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.jboss.security.integration.JBossSecuritySubjectFactory.createSubject(JBossSecuritySubjectFactory.java:90)
The NullPointerException refers to this line of code in org.jboss.resource.security.SubjectActions:
static class AddPrincipalsAction implements PrivilegedAction
{
Subject subject;
Principal p;
AddPrincipalsAction(Subject subject, Principal p)
{
this.subject = subject;
this.p = p;
}
public Object run()
{
subject.getPrincipals().add(p);
return null;
}
}
However this doesn't help much, and I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. Help! |
