Initial Context for security enabled WAS Server
|
|
|
| Hi,
I have a security enabled WAS Server authenticating using LDAP. I have a program which is supposed to run on the same server as Websphere is currently running. Websphere is security enabled with LDAP.
I am getting a security dialog popup asking me to login whenever I run my standalone program. The standalone Java program is supposed to connect to Websphere and invoke a sessionbean. Everytime I run the program, this security logon popup comes up. I have
given the user-id password to bind to websphere in the Initialcontext..inspite of this ..Websphere asks me to login...Any clues.
Here is my code to get an initial context
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, providerURL);
/**User id and password from Ldap/
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "wpsbind");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"wpsbind");
Is there anything specific to be done to get intialcontext of WAS for passing the username and password of an authenticated user on websphere ?

| Hi,
If you enable Security then you Session Bean is secured.
THe standalone application makes a request to the SB method
THe container notices that the request does not have any credentials
or a token which says that you are authenticated so it challenges via
the pop up box,
This is probably what is happening.

You need to do a JAAS login, something like this:
LoginContext lc = null;
try {
lc = new LoginContext("WSLogin",
new WSCallbackHandlerImpl("userName", "realm",
"password"));
} catch (LoginException le) {
System.out.println("Cannot create LoginContext. " +
le.getMessage());
// insert error processing code
} catch(SecurityException se) {
System.out.printlin("Cannot create LoginContext." +
se.getMessage();
// Insert error processing
}
try {
lc.login();
} catch(LoginExcpetion le) {
System.out.printlin("Fails to create Subject. " +
le.getMessage());
// Insert error processing code
Do a search in the WAS info center on "programmatic login" to get more
info.

| Hi,
I got the answer to my query...
Websphere was opening a login prompt everytime, For this: The sas.client.properties was edited.
Following is how the property should look like
#other values are prompt [default], properties, keyfile, stdin, none
com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=properties
com.ibm.CORBA.securityEnabled=true
com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid=<user id in ldap>
com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword=<password>
Thanks
