Any one having idea on Form based authentication ?

Hi ,
I need help on configuring web.xml for form based authentication .
ie if any one clicks or attempts to access any page in application it should redirect to login page.
Thanks.

there is no need to write a servlet filter for this any more. It is part of the servlet spec. Web containers should provide it as a matter of course. It will automatically handle the popping up of the login page, and continue to the destination on successful login, all automagically.
A quick search on Google provides several articles and examples on this very subject. Try http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/06/12/form.html
Heres a quick example of web.xml config taken from that article:
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/fail_login.html</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>AdminPages</web-resource-name>
<description> accessible by authorised users </description>
<url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<description>These are the roles who have access</description>

How To Use HttpUnit With FORM-based Authentication?

I'm just getting started with HttpUnit, and I'm having a problem:
How does one use HttpUnit with FORM-based authentication?
I have a Web app where I specify a number of protected URLs. When a user tries to invoke one of them in a browser, Tomcat 4.1.30 brings up a login page that I specified and asks for a username and password. The values given by the user is checked against the tomcat-users.xml file. If the user is valid, Tomcat
forwards the response from the original request. If invalid, an error page is displayed. The user is considered valid until either the session times out or the browser is closed.
Does HttpUnit have to log into the app every time I run a test? How does it manage subsequent pages after login?

I don't think that's true. HttpUnit is 100% Java and based on JUnit. HttpUnit has nothing to do with Apache, AFAIK. HttpUnit is for unit testing servlets and JSPs. Apache is a Web server. It doesn't have a servlet/JSP engine, unless you bolt Tomcat on top of it.
Perhaps we're talking about two different packages. - %

Any one else have problems using 'FORM' based authentication in OC4J?

Since I couldn't find any information on this from Oracle I went with the specifications from Orion.
I am using Oracle Internet Directory Server for authentication of OC4J apps. I followed Orions specs for writing and pluging in your own usermanger to make calls to OID. Everything works fine when I use BASIC authentication but when I use FORM based authentication it fails to send the browser to the original url that was requested.
The browser just displays a blank screen?
You can tell that the client is authenticated because you can just request the URL again and it's displayed without prompting for a username/password.
For the login in screen the only specs Orion gives is that your form has to have an action of 'j_security_check' and pass 'j_username' and 'j_password'.
Does oracle have another way to do this, or has anyone else experienced this and no a way to fix it?

Tom,
Custom user authentication in Oc4J 1.0.2.2 is same in both Oc4J and Orion and we have tested that form based authentication works
fine. In 9iAS Release 2 Oracle has an integerated JAAS implementation with OC4J which you can configure either to authenticate users from a encrypted file or users stored in OID.

FORM based Authentication issue on Sun ONE AS7

I am trying to use FORM based authentication for a web module I created, and can not get it to work. I have registered the roles through the admin console of the server, and adjusted the web.xml. When I try to use BASIC authentication, I get a 'Authentication refused for []' message before I even log in, and another one after I do. When I use FORM authentication, the URL points to my login.jsp page (no matter what I put in the path, which is what is supposed to happen), however my default servlet (hello.java) is actually run, and the login.jsp page never comes up. I created my jsps and servlet in the mounted [ejb]_WebModule. Please let me know if something seems incorrect here, or if you can think of something I should check...I can't find anything out there to help me.
Here is my web.xml:

Yes there's a default generated index.jsp page that I'm having trouble overriding with one of my own. Have you used Form Based Authentication before? To do so you have edit the WEB-INF/web.xml file by adding:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Secure Area</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/test/secure/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/test/secure/loginpage.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/test/secure/errorpage.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
When you attempt to first go to any page in my /test/secure/ directory you get redirected to the /test/secure/loginpage.jsp where you have to login as a tomcat user, when succesfully logged on you get redirected to an index.jsp page which is NOT the one I created in test/secure/index.jsp. Even when I type in the url to go to my own test/secure/index.jsp I still don't get my own one that exists there, but instead get the default one that's generated that displays:
"Authentication Mechanism FORM".
Hope that makes more sense.
I've tried restarting tomcat but it makes no difference.

Form-based authentication problem with weblogic

Hi Everyone,
The following problem related to form-based authentication
was posted one week ago and no reponse. Can someone give it
a shot? One more thing is added here. When I try it on J2EE
server and do the same thing, I didn't encounter this error
message, and I am redirected to the homeage.
Thanks.

I am using weblogic5.1 and RDBMSRealm as the security realm. I am having the following problem with the form-based authentication login mechanism. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and how to solve it?
When I login my application and logout as normal procedure, it is OK. But if I login and use the browser's BACK button to back the login page and try to login as a new user, I got the following error message,
"Form based authentication failed. Could not find session."
When I check the LOG file, it gives me the following message,
"Form based authentication failed. One of the following reasons could cause it: HTTP sessions are disabled. An old session ID was stored in the browser."
Normally, if you login and want to relogin without logout first, it supposes to direct you to the existing user session. But I don't understand why it gave me this error. I also checked my property file, it appears that the HTTP sessions are enabled as follows,
weblogic.httpd.session.enable=true

Hi...
Hehe... I actually did implement the way you implement it. My login.jsp actually checks if the user is authenticated. If yes, then it will forward it to the home page. On the other hand, I used ServletAuthentication to solve the problem mentioned by Cameron where Form Authentication Failed usually occurs for the first login attempt. I'm also getting this error occasionally. Using ServletAuthentication totally eliminates the occurence of this problem.
I'm not using j_security_check anymore. ServletAuthentication does all the works. It also uses RDBMSRealm to authenticate the user. I think the biggest disadvantage I can see when using ServletAuthentication is that the requested resource will not be returned after authentication cause the page returned after authenticating the user is actually hard coded (for my case, it's the home.jsp)
cheers...

Hi Jerson,
I tried your code this weekend, it didn't work in my case. But
I solved my specific problem other way. The idea behind my problem is that the user tries to relogin when he already logs in. Therefore, I just redirect the user into another page when he is getting the login page by htting the BACK button, rather than reauthenticate the user as the way you did.
But, I think your idea is very helpful if it could work. Problems such multiple concurrence logins can be solved by pre-processing.
In your new code, you solved the problem with a new approach. I am just wondering, do you still implement it with your login.jsp file? In other word, your action in login.jsp is still "Authenticate"? Where do you put the URL "j_security_check"?
Thanks.

Hi...
Thanks for your suggestion... I've actually thought of that solution. Butusing page redirection will expose the user's password. I'm thinking of
another indirection where I will redirect it to another servlet but the
password is encrypted.
What do you think?
thanks....

Hello guys...
I've a solution but it doesn't work yet so I need your help. Because
one
of the reason for getting form base authentication failed is if an
authenticated user tries to login again. For example, the one mentionedby
John using the back button to go to the login page and when the user logsin
again, this error occurs.
So here's my solution
Instead of submitting the page to j_security_check, submit it to a
servlet
which will check if the user is logged in or not. If yes, invalidates its
session and forward it to j_security_check. But there's a problem in this
solution, eventhough the session.invalidate() (which actually logs theuser
out) is executed before forwarded to j_security_check, the user doesn't
immediately logged out. How did I know this, because after calling
session.invalidate, i tried calling request.RemoteUser() and it doesn't
return null. So I'm still getting the error. What I want to ask you guyis
how do I force logout before the j_security_check is called.
here's the code I did which the login.jsp actually submits to
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Authenticate extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponseresponse)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
if (request.getRemoteUser() != null) {
HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
System.out.println(session.isNew());
session.invalidate();
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
cookies.setMaxAge(0);
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/j_security_check").forward(reques
t, response);
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponseresponse)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException {
doPost(request, response);
let's help each other to solve this problem. thanks.

John,
1. You are using a single WL instance (i.e. not clustered) on that
NT
box
and doing so without a proxy (e.g. specifying http://localhost:7001),
correct?
2. BEA will pay more attention to the problem if you upgrade to SP6.If
you don't have a reason NOT to (e.g. a particular regression), then
you
should upgrade. That will save you one go-around with support: "Hi,I
am
on SP5 and I have a problem.", "Upgrade to SP6 to see if that fixes
it.
Call back if that doesn't work."
3. Make sure that you are not doing anything special before or after
J_SECURITY_CHECK ... make sure that you have everything configuredand
done
by the book.
4. Email BEA a bug report at [email protected] ... see what they say.

It seems to me that the problem I encountered is different a little

Everytime I go through, I always get that error.
I am using weblogic5.1 and sp5 on NT4.0. Do you have any solutions

John,
I will verify that I have seen this error now (after having read
about it
here for a few months) and it had the following characteristics:
1) It was intermittent, and appeared to be self-curing
2) It was not predictable, only seemed to occur at the first
login
attempt,
and may have been timing related
3) This was on Sun Solaris on a cluster of 2 Sparc 2xx's; the
proxy
was
Apache (Stronghold)
4) After researching the newsgroups, it appears that this "bug"
may
have gone away temporarily (?) in SP5 (although Jerson Chua
<[email protected]> mentioned that he still got it in SP5)
I was able to reproduce it most often by deleting the tmpwar and
tmp_deployments directories while the cluster was not running,
then
restarting the cluster. The first login attempt would fail(roughly
90%
of
the time?) and that server instance would then be ignored by the
proxy
for a
while (60 seconds?) -- meaning that the proxy would send all
traffic,
regardless of the number of "clients", to the other server in thecluster.
As far as I can tell, it is a bug in WebLogic, and probably has
been
there
for quite a while.

Session expired message in form based authentication

Hi, i m using JAAS form based authentication on jboss for our application and we want session expired message to show in the login form when it loads for authentication after session expired.
do any one have any idea how to achive this as the application will never be able to detect that the session expired as it will always have a valid session available becoz ,When an HTTP session expires and the client makes a request to any secured resource, the JAAS subject will not be found for authorization. At this point, the security framework creates a new HTTP session, stores the target URL value in the session, and then redirects the user to the login page. After a successful login process, the user is forwarded back to the target page,
but our Web applications may need to capture these session expiration events and show some custom message to the user.
HTTP session listener doesn't work here as HTTP session listener does not allow you to create a new session.
Thanks in advance

ObSSOCookie does have session time data. Access Manager SDK can parse the cookie and can access it's own settings for max and idle session time.
Trick is, once the user is logged out, the cookie is destroyed. I suspect there is no real practical way to do this.
I have pondered the idea that you could use AJAX to communicate with a service that uses the SDK to return data about current session state - "You have 40 seconds left to get your form filled out, buddy! 39, 38, 37..."
Oh to have that much free time... ;)

Ask for help with form based authentication & authorization

Hi:
I encountered the following problem when I tried the form based authentication & authorization (see the attached part of the config files, web.xml, weblogic.xml & weblogic.properties)
1. authorization seems not invoked against the rules specfied, it doesn't go the login error page as long as the user/pwd match, even though the user does not have the necessary role
in the example below, user3 should be denied to access the signin page, but seems no login error page returned, actually I never see any page / error message which complain about the authorization / access control error
2. after authenticate correctly, always get redirected to the / (context root) url, instead of the url prior the login page, for e.g., signin page
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Paul:
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Firstly let me just correct a little in the attachment I put previously, I think I missed following lines :
<auth-constraint>
<description>no description</description>
<role-name>customer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
So, user1 & user2 are in the customer group, but user3 not, and /control/singin is protected by this security constraint, as a result, when anyone click the link to /control/singin, he was led to the login page, if he tries to login as user1 & user2, he should pass & led to original page (in this case /control/singin, and my code's logic, once /control/signin is used, means that he already login successfully & redirected to the login success page), but if he tries to login as user3, he should only pass the authentication check, but fail the authorization check, and led to login error page.
What not happen are :
1. user1 & user2 pass, but redirect to /
2. user3 also pass, because I see that debug message shows also get redirected to /, instead of login error page
(login error page will be displayed, only if I try to login as a user with either wrong userid, or wrong password)
3. one more thing I notice after I first time post the message, the container does not remember the principal, after 1. is done, not even for a while
And the similar configuration works under Tomcat 3.2.1, for all 3. mentioned above.
Any idea ?

If I understand what your trying to do, everyone should get access to the

The principal customer_group (and therefore its members) is mapped in the

I can't speak to the reason your being redirected to the document root.

WebLogic 6.0. For basic authentication, i can add authorization infointo the
request, how can I do that for form-based authentication ?
Thanks

Form Based Authentication on Tomcat with custom index.jsp page...

Hi there ppl,
I've got Form Based Authentication working correctly on my Tomcat server but I want to override the default generated index.jsp after successfully logging on. I've tried placing my own index.jsp in the directory that's restricted, but its only overridden by the default one when successfully logged on which displays:
"Authentication Mechanism FORM"
This means having to navigate by typing the url in the address bar to another page which is gets really annoying afterawhile.
Any help on this would be much appreciated,
thanks already

Yes there's a default generated index.jsp page that I'm having trouble overriding with one of my own. Have you used Form Based Authentication before? To do so you have edit the WEB-INF/web.xml file by adding:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Secure Area</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/test/secure/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/test/secure/loginpage.jsp</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/test/secure/errorpage.jsp</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>
When you attempt to first go to any page in my /test/secure/ directory you get redirected to the /test/secure/loginpage.jsp where you have to login as a tomcat user, when succesfully logged on you get redirected to an index.jsp page which is NOT the one I created in test/secure/index.jsp. Even when I type in the url to go to my own test/secure/index.jsp I still don't get my own one that exists there, but instead get the default one that's generated that displays:
"Authentication Mechanism FORM".
Hope that makes more sense.
I've tried restarting tomcat but it makes no difference.

Form Based Authentication in SharePoint 2013: Getting The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error

Hi
I configured forms based authentication mode in Sharepoint 2013 site. When i tried to log in with windows authentication prompt it throws the following error
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error
[WebException: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.] System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() +8548300 System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelRequest.WaitForReply(TimeSpan timeout) +111 [ProtocolException:
The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (application/soap+msbin1). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly. The first
1024 bytes of the response were: '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
How to fix this issue?
Regards,

Did you create a new web application or modify an existing web application?
I would start by checking the ULS logs, maybe there is an incorrect setting within one of the web.config files, or SQL permissions.
Also, as suggested above, check application pools are running.
This blog post is a great guide for setting up FBA, check it through to make sure you haven't missed any steps:

Error in form based authentication

Hi all,
i want 2 implement form based authentication to a dummy resource in iis.
first i created authentication as
Challenge Method Form
Challenge Parameter passthrough: no
creds: usernamevar passwordvar
action: /access/oblix/apps/webgate/bin/webgate.dll
form: /public/login.html
SSL Required No
Challenge Redirect
Enabled Yes
and configured a policy domain for a dummy resource test.html with form authentication schema. i kept that in a folder 'access' which was placed in iis. i mentioned the action attribute to '/access/test.html' in login.html through which i want to do authentication.
but when i am accessing http://*...*/test.html
i am getting http 404 error.
can anyone help me.
Thank you

Hi,
thanks for ur response. i make some changes to my configuration which was given in previous post. now i configured as follows:
i kept my test.html and login.html in the iis root folder. and i defined my policy as follows:
Name : form (policy name)
Enabled : Yes
Resource Resource Type :http
URL Prefix : /test.html
Description
Authorization Rules Name ---- Form authorization
Description ---
Enabled --- Yes
Allow takes precedence ----Yes
Allow Access Role---- Any one
Default Rules
Authentication Rule
name of the authentication: policy form authentication
Authentication Scheme : Form authentication -----------------which was created in Access system console
Authorization Expression
Expression : Form authorization
Duplicate Actions: No policy defined for this Authorization Expression. The Access System level default policy for dealing with duplicate action headers will be employed.
Audit Rule
There is no Audit Rule defined.
Policy Name : form policy
Description :
Resource Type: http
Resource Operation(s) : POST
GET
Resource : all
Authentication Rule
policy auth. rule
Authentication Scheme Form authentication
Authorization Expression
There is no Authorization Expression defined.
Audit Rule
There is no Audit Rule defined.
Delegated Access Admins Delegate Rights
People Administrator
Grant Rights
There are no Delegated Access Admins with this right.
Basic Rights
There are no Delegated Access Admins with this right.
and i also created login.html with a method 'post' and pointed out the action to '/access/oblix/apps/webgate/bin/webgate.dll' . i placed it in IIS root folder.
now my auth. schema is as follows.
form: /login.html action:/access/oblix/apps/webgate/bin/webgate.dll passthrough: no creds: usernamevar passwordvar (which are names of fields in login.html)
and the plugin mapping is as follows:
credential_mapping:obMappingBase="cn=users,dc=orademo,dc=com", obMappingFilter="(&(&(objectclass=User)(sAMAccountName=%usernamevar%) )(|(!(obuseraccountcontrol=*))(obuseraccountcontrol=ACTIVATED)) )"
validate_password: obCredentialPassword="passwordvar"
so when i am accessing http://<hostname>/test.html
it is giving popup window like basic auth. schema. i am not getting my login page. and in that even i am logging as admin . it is saying unauthorized user.
please help me how to configure it.

Performing form based authentication with entities

Hey everyone,
Im in a major dilemma.Im trying to perform form-based authentication using entities.I have created the entity class from the database,and I used a SLSB to access the bean method via JNDI(when I tried using dependency injection,there was an exception).I also cannot use hibernate as a persistent provider.I used toplink since it is the default in netbeans 5.5.1 and it did not raise any issues.But then,I noticed that toplink is most compatible with the oracle application server,and I use sun java system application server 9.1.I have not been able to successfully perform the authentication.
here's the code:note,there are still bugs as ive been going back and forth trying to find a solution and also because Ive been working with preexisting code.

Form Based Authentication without login page

Hi,
i need to use form based authentication in a web page, but without a dedicated login page. So basicly every page will contain a login form in the upper right corner, so the user can login anytime in his browsing session directly from the page he's reading.
I am aware of that the form based authentication config needs a login and a error page.
I need some hints on how this could be implemented so that i dont need them directly. Im quite sure this is possible, if any of you has ideas please share them with me.
dukes are waiting ...

sorry - double posted : http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=584579&tstart=0

Any one having idea on Form based authentication ?
