[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBAS-7542) RemoteHostTrustLoginModule / Valve for allowing third party authentication

RemoteHostTrustLoginModule / Valve for allowing third party authentication --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-7542 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7542 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Security Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA Reporter: Andrew Oliver Assignee: Andrew Oliver Presently Tested With 4.3.0. This login module is for the specific case of needing to pass credentials between instances without re-authenticating (diagram: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1368565/redhat/patches/diagram_trust.png and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1368565/redhat/patches/diagram_trust.odg). The valve puts the getRemoteHost from a request object in a thread local value. The login module checks this supplied getRemoteHost (generally an IP) against a list of trusted IPs. This should only be used behind a firewall with spoofing disabled where network security has assured the getRemoteHost call returns a valid value. No testcase is included as it requires a specific network setup and multiple instances. If there are no objections I'll commit this to the trunk with my LdapExtLoginModule patches. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1368565/redhat/patches/HostThreadLocal.java http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1368565/redhat/patches/RemoteHostTrustLoginModule... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1368565/redhat/patches/RemoteHostValve.java In order to use it (login-config.xml): <application-policy name = "jmx-console"> <authentication> <login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.RemoteHostTrustLoginModule" flag = "optional"> <module-option name="password-stacking">useFirstPass</module-option> <module-option name="trustedHosts">192.168.49.10</module-option> <module-option name="roles">transportAuthenticated</module-option> </login-module> .. some other login module ... </authentication> </application-policy> context.xml: <Context> <Valve className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.RemoteHostValve"/> </Context>
