Realm and NullPointerException

I am attempting to create a custom realm following the JDBC Realm as an example.
I have done the following:
-update the login.config file to include my new realm
-added the realm under the security tab
-set the new realm as default
-compiled my realm classes into a jar file and added that to my classpath
When I attempt to start the server, I still get the following error:
WARNING ( 2348): SEC1100: Disabled realm [PPSO] due to errors.
WARNING ( 2348): SEC1000: Caught exception.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

never mind - figured it out.
To my custom realm, I needed to add the
'jaas-context' property.

URGENT HELP NEEDED ... Tomcat Realm and JRE1.4 plug-in problem

I have tried the Security Realm of Tomcat. Since I do not have
an LDAP server, I decided to use the Tomcat-users.xml file in
Tomcat\conf directory.
I added the following lines of code in the web.xml file.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>

<role-name>webviewer</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>Tomcat Manager Application</realm-name>
</login-config>
The <role-name> "webviewer" is added into "Tomcat-Users.xml" as the following:
<tomcat-users>
<user name="test" password="password" roles="webviewer" />
</tomcat-users>
So, now when we type the url: http://localhost:8080/adbpdbre/default.htm, TOMCAT shows a dialog box asking for UserName: and Password:Now, only when we give the username and password, it shows the page. This is exactly what we want.
But the problem now is, this default.htm page, has 5 links to 5 applets. The first time that I click on one of these links, the JRE plug of 1.4 shows a dialog again asking for the username and password. Till I dont provide the username and password the system doesnt go ahead and applet doesnt load. I do not want the JRE to ask me for the username/passwords again..How to avoid this ?
Can you give me some more information on this. Ultimately in the production usage, we will be using LDAP and not Tomcat's memory realm.
URGENT HELP NEEDED ... I need to get back to my client on this.
Help would be v. much appreciated.

In the config file, you 're essentially saying that you want Tomcat to prompt for usr/passw on every request (url-pattern = /*) made by a 'webviewer', and that's exactly what Tomcat is doing.
Consider using specific url-patterns & roles for resources to be protected. If for now, all you need is to protect the first page, use a more specific url-pattern.
Just an advice : if you'll be using LDAP in production, do not waste time with Tomcat's Security Realm and the BASIC authentication type, since the two have not much in common. Start reading doc on LDAP, and code a prototype, or even better, a vertical slice of the app (i.e a proof of concept).

[Fwd: Re: rdbms realm and connection pool]

Hi,
One reason why I would like to use the connection pool for the RDBMS
realm is because there is the retry machanism built into the connection
pool. With this retry, I don't need to re-start WebLogic if the DB
server is somehow re-started. With the current implementation, all the
connections maintained by the realm will become invalid if the DB server
has been restarted independently.

I believe not- the realm restricts access to connection pools to those
who
are allowed it, so if the realm needs the connection pool to start up,
and
you can't open the connection pool without the realm then you have a bit
of
a no-chicken and no-egg situation, which is I believe one of the reasons
why
there is no use of connection pools, ejbs, jndi, servlets etc. in the
realm
(along with other reasons, like why would it be provided with a servlet)
The delegate pool acts somewhat similarly to a connection pool, and can
even
use the same database, so I'm not sure what the advantage would be

It is an assignment I cant use the premade LinkedList package.
While that did solve it, I can now add CDs to my archive but as I have found out when i try using other methods(like write to disk lagreCdArkiv() ) I get and nullpointerexception. I tried letting it rest and try another part of my assignment which included another linekd list. Same problem I can create a Hobby in a Hobbylist but when I try to compare and work with the data I get nullpointerexception.
I must be doing something consistently wrong.
Let me supply some more classes for comparison.

Creating users in Caching Realm and not FileRealm

Hey,I was wondering if there was anyway a user ( whose username password) i retrieve from a database can be created only in the caching realm and the createUser not propogate to the fileRealm..caz when the server is stopped, i want all the cached user entries to be deleted..and if the createUser propogates to the fileRealm, they will become persistent..Thanx for help in advance,Tapan

Step 1) (As Andreas explained): create an extra realm; navigate to the your.servername/oiddas page. Select the third tab "Directory". Notice an extra picture appears in the upper right corner, called "Realms". Click that, and create the realm.
Step 2) Reconfigure your SSO server to allow for the extra realm
Step 3) Configure Application Server Hosting
Step 4) Add the subscriber
Step 5) Add user(s) - note the extra option "Realm" in the basic data part
It's a lot more complicated than rpelies on this forum allows; the documentation describes it quite well - note that the enblhstg.csh misses the "-mode sso" switch (at least for 10.1.2 on HP-UX)
Bottom line: create users is simply the Create button on the users page - you shoud have the option to select the default realm there, not on the realm pages

Using RDBMSRealm as backup realm and filerealm as primary realm

I want to use filerealm as primary realm and RDBMSRealm as backup realm in
my custom realm. How can I do that?
Or how can I get access to filerealm from RDBMSRealm so that I can call
filerealm.getUser() before I try to get it from database.
Thank you.
Tero Järvinen.

What I've done does set the RDBMSRealm as the default realm.
What had me worried and doubting this was that if there is an authentication
problem, the console still says that there was a problem in "realm
weblogic" -- a little misleading.
"fnord" <[email protected]> wrote in message
news:[email protected]..

I could have sworn that setting the RealmClass in weblogic.properties set
the default realm for the server (or for the cluster in the
weblogic.properties in mycluster), as this seemed to be how it worked with
our test cases....
Now that I've set up a webapp on its own and am trying to test our beansin
it, it appears that the beans/webapp are trying to use the weblogic realm.
Here's the error:
principal: 1234
javax.naming.AuthenticationException. Root exception is
java.lang.SecurityException:
Authentication for user 1234 denied in realm weblogic
at weblogic.security.acl.Realm.authenticate(Realm.java:183)
Here's what I have in weblogic.properties:
weblogic.security.realmClass=examples.security.rdbmsrealm.RDBMSRealm
Should this set the RDBMSRealm as the default realm, or do I have to domore
to set the RDBMSRealm as the default for the webapp?
thanks,
John Stotler

Setting realm and kdc for kerberos authentication

Hi there,
I was wondering if it's possible to set the default realm and kdc from within the code or do they have to be specified when starting the program? I know that they can be specified in a configuration file, but then the config file must be specified every time the program is run. If I can't set the realm and kdc, can I at least set the config file in my code?
Thanks in advance

For example, to start up my code that uses JAAS to authenticate against kerberos, I have to type:
java -Djava.security.auth.login.config=sampleConfig.conf MyClass
I need to have a servlet do the authentication, so how can I tell my servlet to use the specified configuration file, since it won't be launched from the command line.

Configuring JDBC Realms and session mangement

Hello All,
I want to provide authentication to my application.
Eg.
There are users in "User" table in my Java DB.
There is home page having login form and other features.
When the user enter his credentials in the login form, his credentials will be checked against the "User" table. iIf the credentials are right then, the next page containing his account information and shopping cart will be displayed and his session ID will be maintained. This session id will be used for other operations performed by this user.
I have achieved the above task easliy with my normal JDBC and JSP,Servlet.
I am learning Securities, and i want to accomplish this task using JDBC Realm with Netbeans IDE. Means Credentials will be checked, Session will be maintined, session id will be tracked and user page(account information and shoping cart) will be displyed.
How to achieve this?
Please help me out with the codes or example.
Please provide me the link if any article is mentioned for the same.
Thans & Regards,
Gaurav Dighe

ok thanks....
but thats what i exacltly need. How to configure Servlet Container and Glassfish server to achieve the task. Second thing is that by doing so i want to achieve the session management. To be precise i want to configure by glassfish server and application for JDBC Realm and then achieve Session management/tracking.
I there any way to achieve this. I am new to Security.
Please help..

Fatal Error and NullPointerException in Oracle XML Transformer

Hi,
I'm building a dom tree in memory with oracle xml parser. Then I transform the dom document into a string to send xml to the client. But I get an fatal error on calling transform.
I don't know what could be the problem, because apache and weblogic parser works, an when I create a dom document with org.w3c.dom elements and statements then the xml document can't be invalid,
because the document implementation would throw an exception if wrong nodes or something like this should be inserted...
I'm using oracle xml parser 9.2.0.4 for java, bea weblogic 7.0 and win2k.
Thanks for help.

when using a stylesheet which has a template match condition of more than 1600 characters.
The second thing is that the Oracle XML transformer is
NOT threadsafe. I was using several threads using different templates to transform an incoming XML simultaneously but was ALWAYS getting internal XSL errors
and Nullpointer Exceptions. I solved this by synchronizing the transformation, but I don't like it.
I'm using the following versions on Windows XP:

Using Oracle Users in Realms and DataSource.getConnection

Is it possible to authenticate using an Oracle User via JAASRealm and also retrieve connections specific to that user from a DataSource?
I currently have an application which doesn't use either, but rather sets up a OracleDataSource. So basically I just want to allow the container to administer both the authentication and data source setup, while still allowing the getConnection(user,password):
CODE
ocpds = new OracleConnectionPoolDataSource();
ocpds.setURL(connectionString);
ocpds.setConnectionProperties(props);
ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL(connectionString);
ods.setConnectionCachingEnabled(true);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
// Pool and Cache
Properties poolProps = new Properties();
poolProps.setProperty("AbandonedConnectionTimeout", "60");
poolProps.setProperty("InactivityTimeout", "5");
poolProps.setProperty("TimeToLiveTimeout", "60");
poolProps.setProperty("ConnectionWaitTimeout", "60");
ods.setConnectionCacheProperties(poolProps);
ods.setConnectionProperties(props);
Util.logln("Connection Cache Properties");
cache = OracleConnectionCacheManager.getConnectionCacheManagerInstance();
cache.createCache(cacheName, ods, poolProps);
cache.setConnectionPoolDataSource(cacheName, ocpds);
........later in the BatCave (JSP or a servlet).....
conn = (OracleConnection) ods.getConnection(username, password);
ENDCODE
This section from OAS Containers for J2EE Services Guide worries me:
(from: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14012/datasrc.htm#sthref572 )
Using Different User Names for Two Connections to a Single Data Source
When you retrieve a connection from a DataSource object with a user name and password, this user name and password are used on all subsequent connection retrievals within the same transaction. This is true for all data source types.
For example, suppose an application retrieves a connection from the jdbc/OracleCMTDS1 data source with the scott user name. When the application retrieves a second connection from the same data source with a different user name, such as adams, the second user name (adams) is ignored. Instead, the original user name (scott) is used.
Thanks for reading all of this, and I appreciate any help!

Update:
I'm still not quite sure what to do. Where I am now:
1. I don't know how to authenticate against Oracle database users (non-ldap) via JNDI/JAAS/whatever
2. Proxy authentication (ALTER USER...CONNECT THROUGH...) seems to be promising for using connection pools, and in addition, once realm authentication happens, I can just pass the username and piggyback on the middletier connection without knowing the password used in authentication
3. I'm not sure if proxy addresses the issue that OAS Containers for J2EE Services Guide talks about in the original post
4. I'd prefer not to use OID
Again, if you have any little information, I'd really like to hear it.

ImageIcon can not be drawn and NullPointerException was thrown

I have a dialog that displays list of items whose cell renderer is customized using ImageIcons. Permissions have been granted properly, I think. The dialog can be shown but it can not draw it's children element correctly. And java.lang.NullPointerException was thrown:

Done. I should have read through the usage of Icons in Java Tutorial first. If anybody has this similar problem, that is a good source for clearing.

Alain,
It looks like you're using a custom realm which needs
to be ported to WLS 6.0. Please consult the
WLS 6.0 documentation on how to implement a custom realm.
One trick you could try is:
1) create a custom realm via the console
2) set the custom realm's realmclassname to the
classname of your custom realm (get this from
your old weblogic.properties file)
3) use the console to set this custom realm as
the active realm - that is:
a) make a caching realm
b) make the caching realm use this custom realm
c) make the realm use the caching realm
4) copy your custom realm's properties file to the
directory you boot WLS from in each of your servers
(like you had to do in WLS 5.1)
5) Boot wls (making sure your custom realm is in
the classpath) - hopefully everything will just work.
If not, you'll need to port your custom realm
(which you should do anyway)

ParticipaneFeed and NullPointerException

Hi,
I am trying to test LDAP integration in StandAlone Enterpricese server. I have added the following line to webconsole.properties:
fuego.webconsole.userFeed.enabled=true
When I go to the BPM Proess Administrator and Organizational Settings/Enable Participant Feed, I get the NullPointerException.
When I return to Organizational settings after this, I See the Participant Feed Settings, but can not "Save" them, because I get another null pointer exceptions.
I am attaching the stack trace bellow.
Any ideas what is going wrong?

I am getting the same error, when I migrated the web application from Tomcat to Weblogic. It looks like it is JSF related.

OS X realms and internet explorer v6 and v7

Hi,
I have set up and configured a site that uses realms to secure a section of the site. I can use safari and firefox for os x to navigate to this page and get the authentication box to log in to the realm.
However if i use IE 6 or 7 it just comes up with page cannot be displayed. Is it a config issue or a problem with the browser not supporting the realms?
The password is sent in clear text and the page is not under https. I am running the web service on OS X 10.4.11 but this also happens under OS X 10.5.1. Under 10.5.1 the realm is sent encrypted under a https site.

On inspecting the apache error logs, whenever a user tries to access the secured directory through the realm authentication the following error appears.
moddigestapple: Request for URI /download/index.php does not contain Authorization header, referer: https://
This is a base install xp with Sp2 and ie6. No updates installed apart from ie6. I asked someone else who has ie 7 to test the authentication. They had a fully up to date version of ie 7 and logged into the secured directory fine.
Does anyone know if ie has had a problem in the past with apache realms. I have read that it usually sends an unauthenticated request first and then an authenticating header afterwards. Is this the issue i am seeing. If so how can i force ie to ask to authenticate?
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

NT Realm and Properties Files

Hi,
Does anyone experience similar problem. I am using NT Realm using a user already define in my NT domain. The properties File for WLS required that password be present for the system user.
Having this when I start weblogic, I can log onto WLS with password define for the system user in NT domain as well as the funny password I put in the properties file just to fill the requirement.
I thought that the password define in NT domain should prevail over the one define in the properties file. Is there any solution around this? Any help will be greatly appreciate?
Thanks.
Amen Akakpo

hi,
use PreferredMaxBytes=0 in the config.xml something like.
<NTRealm Name="MyNTRealm" PreferredMaxBytes="0"
PrimaryDomain="xyz.com"/>
thanks
