I am using a custom security domain connecting to an ldap but that seems to be configured correctly since I can successfully authenticate to it with having the username/password in jboss-ejb-client.properties. The working configuration is: jboss-ejb-client.properties remote.connectionprovider.create.options.org.xnio.Options.SSL_ENABLED=false remote.connections=default remote.connection.default.host=localhost remote.connection.default.port=4447 remote.connection.default.username=myUsername remote.connection.default.password=myPassword remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOANONYMOUS=false remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_DISALLOWED_MECHANISMS=JBOSS-LOCAL-USER local.jboss.jndi.properties java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.ejb.client.naming Client Application Code: jndiProperties.put("jboss.naming.client.ejb.context", true);     jndiProperties.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username); jndiProperties.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password); jndiProperties.put("jboss.naming.client.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_POLICY_NOPLAINTEXT", false); Context context = new InitialContext(jndiProperties); String lookUp = "ejb:" + appName + "/" + moduleName + "/" + beanName + "!" + interfaceClassName; TestEJB facade = (TestEJB)context.lookup(lookUp); boolean connectionSuccessful = facade.canConnect(); It does not matter what I set in the jndiProperties for the username and password, it will always use the username and password that were set in the jboss-ejb-client.properties. If I remove the username and password from jboss-ejb-client.properties and leave everything else the same, the lookup is successful but when the service is called an exception thrown on the client side is: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No EJB receiver available for handling [appName:MyAppEar, moduleName:MyAppJar,distinctname:] combination. I have looked through many other discussion items and it seems that everyone that has gotten security working, has the username and password in the jboss-ejb-client.properties. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/720288#720288] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
