[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - Accessing a secure EJB from standalone Java client

I am attempting to connect to an EJB that is under a JAAS Domain which has unauthenticated access support via the unauthenticatedIdentity attribute in my login-config.xml. If I provide the appropriate information when building my initalcontext (a valid username and password) everything works fine. But if I attempt to connect to without specifying a username/password I get | Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException | at org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory.getInitialContext(JndiLoginInitialContextFactory.java:95) | at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(Unknown Source) | at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(Unknown Source) | at javax.naming.InitialContext.init(Unknown Source) | at javax.naming.InitialContext.<init>(Unknown Source) | at com.csp.ejb.authentication.AuthenticationBean.getInitialContext(AuthenticationBean.java:76) | at com.csp.test.client.Client.main(Client.java:60) | If I set the user name as guest and then try to create the InitalContext I get AuthenticationDenied for all functions. My question is how do I make a connection to the server using the unauthenticated user? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4184476#...
