[jboss-user] [Remoting] - Re: non-ssl user authentication?

[ron.sigal@jboss.com]

Hi Clark,

I'm not quite sure what you want to achieve, but it's not likely that Remoting does what you want.

It's true that you can pass username and password when creating a JNDI InitialContext.  For example, the following lines taken from the Sun JNDI tutorial at

http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/:


  | env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://ldap.wiz.com:389");
  | env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "joeuser");
  | env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "joepassword");
  | Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
  | 


It's also true that RMI server object proxies can be stored in and retrieved from a repository that is accessible through JNDI.  But that connection between RMI and JNDI doesn't currently exist in Remoting, which stores proxies in a plain old RMI Repository.  

Of course, you're welcome to create a Remoting JIRA feature request issue  at http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM, explaining the need for the functionality you're looking for.  Note, however, that all of the Remoting transports (socket, rmi, http, etc.) have an SSL counterpart which supports authentication, etc.
