Re: [rules-users] Guvnor, Apache Tomcat, and Active directory
This is the configuration I have used in components.xml in Guvnor 5.1.1 on Tomcat 6.x,
linux server:
<!-- SECURITY IDENTITY CONFIGURATION -->
<security:ldap-identity-store name="ldapIdentityStore"
server-address="xxx.xxx.xxx"
server-port="389"
bind-DN="CN=*******,OU=xxx,OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx"
bind-credentials="*******"
user-DN-prefix="CN="
user-name-attribute="sAMAccountName"
user-DN-suffix=",OU=xxx,OU=xxx,OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx"
user-context-DN="OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx"
role-DN-prefix="CN="
role-name-attribute="member"
role-object-classes="group"
role-DN-suffix=",OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx"
role-context-DN="OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxx"
user-role-attribute="memberOf"
user-object-classes="user"
role-attribute-is-DN="false" />
<security:identity-manager identity-store="#{ldapIdentityStore}" />
<!-- <security:identity
authenticate-method="#{authenticator.authenticate}"/> -->
Note: The authenticate-method is commented out. This allows for a custom authentication
method and is not required in this instance.
I also found that if a user authenticates with a blank or empty password, they are
authenticated and given the role of anonymous. As Drools Guvnor only uses external
authentication and manages authorisation internally, this allowed users to log in with a
blank or empty password, essentially circumventing authentication.
This was addressed by modifying the SecurityServiceImpl with Guvnor to prevent this:
// Modified from original to ensure no empty or blank passwords
if ( password == null || password.trim().equals("")) {
return false;
}
A further modification removed log.errors to improve the readability of log files.
// Changed log.error to log.warn with userName
log.warn( "Unable to login user [" + userName + "]" );
Autologin was also disabled. This is a feature of Guvnor to support out of the box use
without security. However it caused multiple spurious logging errors.
// Disable autologin
return new UserSecurityContext( null );
//check to see if we can autologin
//return new UserSecurityContext( checkAutoLogin() );

Subject: [rules-users] Guvnor, Apache Tomcat, and Active directory
Has anyone connected Guvnor on Apache Tomcat to Active Directory? I know the
components.xml file is where we setup the security, but I haven't been able to find
any examples of using active directory in my config. I am using 5.1.1 of Guvnor, 7.x of
Tomcat, on a windows server.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dean
