[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (SECURITY-955) Regression in parsing username in LdapExtLoginModule

Regression in parsing username in LdapExtLoginModule ---------------------------------------------------- Key: SECURITY-955 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SECURITY-955 Project: PicketBox Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PicketBox_5_0_0.Alpha3 Reporter: Ondrej Lukas Assignee: Ilia Vassilev Priority: Blocker In case when customers using LdapExtLoginModule with option parseUsername=true but without option usernameBeginString (i.e. usernameBeginString=null) then all users cannot be successfully authenticated into application. Authentication failure is caused by hidden internal NPE. It is the same issue as was reported in [1], but fix is missing in current EAP 7.1 version of PicketBox (5.0.0.Alpha3). We request blocker flag because: * Valid configuration which works for 7.0.x becomes invalid after migration to 7.1.0 * All users cannot authenticate to application despite of valid EAP configuration * Authetication failure caused by NPE is logged to server log Thrown NPE: {code} java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapExtLoginModule.getUsername(LdapExtLoginModule.java:963) at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapExtLoginModule.validatePassword(LdapExtLoginModule.java:342) at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsernamePasswordLoginModule.login(UsernamePasswordLoginModule.java:283) {code} [1] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEAP-364?focusedCommentId=13160168&p...
