[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Cannot retrieve user: Unable to locate current JTA trans

Yes you are correct. New security realm is not the issue. Its inability of the Servlet Environment to properly populate the security information needed by JBoss Portal. In fact why dont you try swicthing the portal security realm to your custom/shared security realm and its LoginModules. You will still need to use the deep JAAS/container managed approach, but you will be using the security realm which is shared by all your applications. You should be able to do this by: 1/ Modify <application-policy name="portal"> inside jboss-portal.sar/conf/login-config.xml to <application-policy name="{your security realm here}"> 2/ Inside jboss-portal.sar/portal-server.war/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml make <security-domain>java:jaas/portal</security-domain> to <security-domain>java:jaas/{your security realm here}</security-domain> Note: even with this approach you will still need to use the container based/j_security approach for Portal to be properly populated with the security information. btw- I have never tried swapping the realm this way for Portal. This is in theory, so let us know if this actually works ;) Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4071657#...
