>             Project: JBoss Application Server
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) 
>          Components: Security
>    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.3 SP1

>            Priority: Critical

> If you look at the implementation of the method
> private InitialLdapContext constructInitialLdapContext(String dn, Object credential) throws NamingException
>    {
>       Properties env = new Properties();
>       Iterator iter = options.entrySet().iterator(); 
>       ...
>       env.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, providerURL);
>       env.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, dn);
>       env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, credential);
>       super.log.trace("Logging into LDAP server, env=" + env);
>       return new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
>    }
> The last few lines will unknowingly log the security credentials of the user. This is bad (legally) for corporate users.
> The lines should read as follows:
> =======================================
> env.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, providerURL);
>       env.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, dn);
>       super.log.trace("Logging into LDAP server, env=" + env);
>       env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, credential);
>       return new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
> ================================================
