                    Labels: idmconsole picketlink seam-security  (was: picketlink seam-security)
               Environment: 
Seam 3.1.0.Beta2
JBoss AS 7
idmconsole

  was:
Seam 3.1.0.Beta2
JBoss AS 7

    Workaround Description:   (was: Create all the IdentityObjectType entries that your application is going to be using up front. (partial workaround))
               Component/s: Shared Examples
           Forum Reference: http://seamframework.org/Community/PerplexitiesAboutSeam3AndPicketlink  (was: http://seamframework.org/Community/PerplexitiesAboutSeam3AndPicketlink)


When filing this JIRA, I choose 3.0.0.Final as affeted version because it didn't allow me to choose 3.1.0.Beta2, which I am actually using.

I'm using 3.1.0.Beta2 because with 3.0.0.Final the idmconsole example doesn't work with JBoss AS 7.

> The method:
> {code:java}
> Group groupName = pm.createGroup("Group name", "Group type");
> {code}
> just adds a row in IdentityObject with the following values:
> {code:sql}
> ('Group name', SELECT id FROM IdentityObjectType WHERE name = 'Group type')
> {code}
> if IdentityObjectType doesn't already have a row with name = "Group type", the IDENTITY_OBJECT_TYPE_ID in the new IdentityObject row is set to null, instead of adding a new row in IdentityObjectType for the new group type.
> The method 
> {code:java}
> PersistenceManager.createGroup(String groupName, String groupType)
> {code}
> can also be abused by creating a group with 'USER' as groupType, despite 'USER' was the identity object type chosen to represent users, not groups. 
> The method
> {code:java}
> Collection<Group> PersistenceManager.findGroup(String groupType)
> {code}
> performs no check about the groupType parameter. One could invoke it as follows:
> {code:java}
> findGroup("USER")
> {code}
> and the result would be a list of groups which are actually users.
> 'USER' should be excluded from the list of types that are searched for.
