Required methods in custom realms
Can anyone help.Being very new to this topic I have a few questions.I have been tasked to the job of constructing a custom security realm. All I want to do in this realm is to authenticated users, all the other tasks are to be passed to the caching realm, and therefore the WLSRealm.My questions are, What methods as an absolute minimum would I need to implement to supply the WLS with what It needs?What is the calling sequence of events made by the WLS against the realm?Were can I find more information regarding custom realms?RegardsPaul.
Hi,
Thank you for your question.
We are currently looking into this issue and will give you an update as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

auth-method BASIC with custom realm
I've set up my web.xml with <auth-method>BASIC, and I've defined a custom realm
for authentication. When I enter a valid userid/password at login, I can trace
authUserPassword() in my custom realm, and I can see that it is returning an object
which is a subclass of weblogic.security.acl.User, as it should. However, rather
than acknowledging a successful login and moving on, the login dialog is redisplayed,
(minus password). Further attempts to enter the same userid/password don't invoke
authUserPassword(), presumably since the "failed" login is still cached. What
am I missing?Have a look in the web server log to see under what account the failed
accesses took place, that will help in identifying the cause.

Strange behavior w/ custom realm
Hi,
I've implemented a custom realm that exhibits a couple of inconsistencies
that I'm hoping someone here has encountered:
1. I've implemented AbstractListableRealm and overridden every method. I
print out a debugging message and return null out of all the methods that
return an object. I've developed a web app for which I require
authentication for all URLs (i.e. /*). The login page comes up fine when I
request a URL. The interesting this is that none of the authenticate
methods or authUserPassword are ever called. Is this the correct behavior?
If so, where do the passwords get checked?
2. Authentication will always succeed as long as you type in a valid
username; the password never seems to get checked. This is probably related
to (1), but since authenticate or authUserPassword are never called, I don't
see how authentication can ever fail.
I'm running this against WLS5.1 sp8. The user list is stored in a database
that I load once and cache in a Hashtable.
Thanks in advance,
DhirenDecided to swap back in the Enermax PS (430W) since it had higher ratings for 5v and 3.3v (20A max on the 12V rail, the neo480 had dual 12v rails of 18A and 15A)
Same thing happens - Power LED goes out when running doom3 or even a windowed DX9 3D demo app (i.e. something increasing the load)
I guess it's a motherboard issue then...
and the system did lock up once today (on the 3rd time running

I wonder how responsive MSI is going to be on this (no reply to my mail earlier this week) and I'm not sure newegg would do anything on this but I guess I can call them to ask. -
Admin Console Integration for Users in a Custom Realm
We are implementing a custom realm and are having troubles getting our Users to
show up in the User list.
Our user class extends weblogic.security.acl.User, and is forced to use the default
CTOR because our data access layer requires it.
Unfortunately, getName() returns null if the User(String) constructor is not used.
Furthermore, Identity::setName() is final, so it seems as though there is no
way to set the user's name after construction.
I am correct in this?
If so, any thoughts on whether it is worth going down the path of making my user
class implement Principal instead of extending weblogic.security.acl.User? I
would be forced to try to guess at what methods in User are required to integrate
with the admin console, I believe. I have not been able to find any documentation
that specifies what api/contract the console uses when it attempts to display
user, role, acl information for a custom realm.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

user to another user - a security hole. It isn't allowed.

weblogic.security.acl.CredentialChanger, so you can change passwords through the
console (otherwise you get NullPointerExceptions).
You really want to get around not being able to supply a user name as part of
the ctor.

-chris1. Your realm should extend AbstractManageableRealm and implement DebuggableRealm
if you want to integrate with the console.
2. The only contract is to implement all the methods!
3. Check the type of the user and group objects being passed to your realm - if
they're not your user and group type, reject the call.
4. The documentation is indeed terrible, and often wrong. The examples shipped
are incomplete (the RBDMS realm shipped has approx 1/3 of the functionality).
You'll get good with jad.
Should all be better in 7.0 with JAAS. The realm interfaces is a dog.
Good luck,

How to access "Alternative Realm" or "Custom Realm" from components like Servlet ?
Hello,
Says if I have alternative realm or my custom realm which implement
"ManageableRealm" interface. How can I access the realm from other
component, like Servlet or EJB in same WLS ? I tried using code like this
BasicRealm realm =
Realm.getRealm("XmlRealm","weblogic","myclass.DebugRealm");
if (realm != null) {
Class realmClass = realm.getClass();
out.println("Realm is " + realmClass.getName());
Which "myclass.DebugRealm" is classname of my own realm. This realm works
fine when using for authentication and authorization. But when I run this
code on servlet, it seems that it doesn't return the realm it created when
starting WLS, I mean the one that served authentication and authorization.
But it create a new instance of this class (I knew it 'cos I put debug
message in its constructor). So how can I get reference to the realm
instance which is created when starting WLS ?
Thank you in an advance,
SirosHello again,
Sorry to say that now I've got the way. I post here again for someone who
may face that same problem.
So strange that, I just changed the realm name in below code to "custom" and
then it works !! My realm is extended from "AbstractListableRealm" class and
I think I named my realm as "XmlRealm" in it constructor by call
super("XmlRealm");
But seems like its "getName()" method always return "custom", so in servlet
code, it' rather be.
BasicRealm realm = Realm.getRealm("custom");
if (realm != null) {
Class realmClass = realm.getClass();
out.println("Realm is " + realmClass.getName());
This works fine and no instance of realm is created. Anyway I saw that
constructor of "AbstractListableRealm" take String argument for "name" of
the realm. So why it's always "custom" ???
Comments are welcome,
Siros

Custom Realm Bug in WebLogic SP3?
I recently upgraded WebLogic 6.1 from SP1 to SP3 and am now
receiving a ClassCastException when invoking the checkPermission
method on a Custom realm ACL that extends weblogic.security.acl.AclImpl.
This code worked fine in SP1. It seems that other developers
have experienced this problem when applying service packs to
WebLogic 5. Any one else encountering this problem with
WebLogic 6 and what is the workaround? (Stack trace attached)
TIA
[aclimplexception.txt]I was unable to determine the cause of the problem, but I was
able to identify that AclImpl was changed between SP1 and SP3.
I updated SP3's weblogic.jar with the weblogic.security.acl.AclImpl
class in the weblogic.jar from SP1 and the exception went away.
I did not see anything in the release notes for SP2 and SP3
that indicate what may have changed. Does anyone know?

Help with Weblogic 6 sp1 Custom Realm !!!!
We are trying to run Weblogic 6.0 sp1 with our current environment (ejb 1.1, custom
security realm)
We can compile and deploy our ejb 1.1 beans. We wish to start with ejb1.1 and
move to ejb2.0 once we can get our custom security working.
The JDBC connection pools are fine.
Our custom security realm uses LDAP for user authentication and an Oracle table
for authorization (acls).
Earlier, I wrote to the board and received the below following instructions to
use our existing custom realm in wl 60. You can read below, but I followed these
instructions on Solaris 5.6.
1. I ensured the SunOS patches were up to date.
2. We ensured the LD_LIBRARY_PATH reflected weblogic 6 (and not 5.1). We moved
the 5.1 classes over to wl6.
3. We copied our custom realm properties file to the weblogic root and/or the
config subdirectory (tried them both).
4. We ensured the security realm class we wrote is in the classpath (we bunch
all our serverside classes in a jar file anyway).
5. Then we created a custom realm via the console – name BFXRealm and it’s
class name <package>.BFXRealm, left configuration box blank.
6. Then we created a custom caching realm BFXCachingREalm and set its basic realm
as the custom realm, BFXRealm. All of the enable caches are checked to true.
7. Then we set the default realm to the BFXCachingRealm.
Now, when we perform a query, the everyone group should be implied. We don’t
implement LDAP lookup on queries. If I try to run a query from a client, I see
the client box connecting with the server:

Yes this can be done. Here's how:
1) I'll assume that the classname to your custom realm is "com.yourcompany.YourCustomRealm"
2) I'll assume that your custom realm has some kind of properties file from which
it reads its configuration data. Let's call this file "YourCustomRealm.properties"
3) Copy YourCustomRealm.properties to every machine that you're running wls on
(you are probably already doing this today).
4) Make sure that com.yourcompany.YourCustomRealm is in the classpath when you
start wls (you should already be doing this today)
5) In 5.1, there used to be some utility classes that customers used for their
custom realms - something about Pools & Factories. These have been renamed in
6.0. If you're using these classes, then go to your 5.1 weblogic jar file and
pull out these classes and add them to your classpath for 6.0.
6) In the console, create a custom realm and set it's realm class name to com.yourcompany.YourCustomRealm.
Leave the configuration data section blank.
7) In the console, configure your custom realm as the alternate realm. That is,
create a caching realm and set it's basic realm to your custom realm, then set
the realm's caching realm to the caching realm you just created.
I'm pretty sure this should work for you. We did this to provide a patch that
let 6.0 users uses the LDAPRealm rewrite from 5.1.
The downside is that you don't get single point of administration - that is, you
have to make your custom realm's configuration data (YourCustomRealm.properties)
available on all the machines you're running WLS on. If you rework your custom
realm, then the configuration data gets put in the custom realm configuration
you create via the console and automatically copied to other machines for you.

Do we have to create any predefined user accounts in the Security Store to get

for configuring or creating a Custom Security Realm for Web Logic Platform Domain.

Kiran,
First time around, the Custom realm was not authenticating the user. I gotthe
code to authenticate the user successfully. Now the WebLogic serverwouldn't even
start. It would give me an error message which says "User System is notauthorized
to boot Weblogic Server". For your reference, I am attaching the Log file.My
custom realm classes output some debugging statements in the log file.From the
log file u will see that the users are getting authenticated successfully.
Please let me know if you have a custom realm working for you. I might bemissing
something.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi,
We have created a WebLogic Platform Domain. A WebLogic Portalapplication(Portal
7.0) and some Web Service apps are running on this domain.
We have created a Custom Security Realm b'cos of our applicationrequirements
and now when I startup the Platform Domain, I see lot of errors.
Some of the errors typically are

Creating a custom realm for tomcat. Help and suggestions please.
Has anybody ever created a custom realm to authenticate users in tomcat.
I would like to use form based login with my own realm.
The form requires 3 fields to log in (hence the custom realm) . I would also like to be able to use the built-in functions like isuserinrole.
If anybody has experience with this or knows of a place where to get valuable information please let me know.
Thanks in advance!Hi
Tomcatx.x.x uses the realm sandbox security tecnique
1)In you'r abcd/web-inf/WEB.xml file
write the realm config scripts for the required
jsp/servlet pages[similar will be found in
Tomcat/webapps/examples/web-inf/web.xml]
2)In Tomcatx.x.x/conf/tomcat_users.xml
declare the realm id/pass/roles
3)If still not able to do then study the web.xml (pdf)

Urgent-------ACLs with Custom Realm.
Can anyone list acls that have to define in my Custom Realm to start default server
successfully?
Thanks.Have a look in the web server log to see under what account the failed
accesses took place, that will help in identifying the cause.

I've set up my web.xml with <auth-method>BASIC, and I've defined a customrealm
for authentication. When I enter a valid userid/password at login, I cantrace
authUserPassword() in my custom realm, and I can see that it is returningan object
which is a subclass of weblogic.security.acl.User, as it should. However,rather
than acknowledging a successful login and moving on, the login dialog isredisplayed,
(minus password). Further attempts to enter the same userid/passworddon't invoke
authUserPassword(), presumably since the "failed" login is still cached.What

Custom Realm for SJSAS 9.x using JAAS documentation too vague
Hello there,
I am trying to implement a custom realm for a particular web application on my SJSAS 9.x server. So far I have been unsuccessful and receive the following message in my server.log:
[#|2006-10-20T13:51:56.390-0300|INFO|sun-appserver-pe9.0|javax.enterprise.system.core.security|_ThreadID=11;_ThreadName=httpWorkerThread-8080-1;javious;|SEC5046: Audit: Authentication refused for [javious].|#]
The documentation I have been using for reference is at:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3659/6n5s6m58k?a=view#beabs
However, I have a number of questions.
First of all, this section referenced by the URL above is identified as "Creating a custom realm". Then the second sentence of this section states "Note that client-side JAAS login modules are not suitable for use with the Application Server". Does this not mean that JAAS login modules are not suitable for use with SJSAS web applications since they are components of the Application Server? Is there a reason for providing information on creating a custom realm for this application server in which it is not suitable for? Why isn't it suitable for the application server? What if I want to implement my own realm for my web application so that I can maintain my application users separately in another application?
Secondly, this section explains that I can create a custom realm simply by creating a custom JAAS login module and a custom realm class. It then goes on to explain how to construct these classes and what to include in them. Notably, the documentation states the following:
The authenticateUser() method must end with the following sequence:
String[] grpList;
// populate grpList with the set of groups to which
// _username belongs in this realm, if any
return commitUserAuthentication(_username, _password,
_currentRealm, grpList);Having looked at the API for authenticateUser I discovered that it is a void method, however the documentation states to return a value from "commitUserAuthentication(..). Also, my commitUserAuthentication method only excepts a single argument of type String[] representing a list of group names, therefore I am unable to supply the additional arguments as documented. This is confusing.
Once finished reading the documentation, I am left hanging with hardly a clue as to what to do with these two new classes. Now having implemented a custom login module on Tomcat 5.x in earlier days, I did happen to have some experience to know to edit the security.properties, policy, and login.conf files. So anyhow from here I end up stumbling blindly through configuration of my domain1/login.conf and domain1/server.policy files. I also attempted to add my new realm within the admin console under security/realms and dropped my new jar file (with two classes) into the app server lib directory.
All in all, this completely fails to work. I have even placed System.out.println statements in all of my implemented methods and none of this actually shows up in my server.log file. Why is this section so vague? Why isn't there a step-by-step example from start to finish of how to implement a simple custom realm in SJSAS9?
Does anybody have any helpful suggestions?Well, once again, I'm going to have to provide my own answer.
After much waiting and then deciding to invest much time researching documentation and tracking down information to assist in my solution, I have manage to find the golden egg for my own recipe of a solution.
In addition to the very helpful info I have found at:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/appserver/reference/techart/as8_authentication/index.html
I have mange to get my custom realm to work with the additional configuration of my sun-application.xml for my ear file. Even though I only wanted to specify my custom realm for my web.xml file, it turns out that in addition to this, I had to also define it in my sun-application.xml file (manually in XML text mode - within Netbeans 5.5) as follows:
<sun-application>
<realm>mycustrealm</realm>
<security-role-mapping>
<role-name>mycust_role</role-name>
<group-name>mycust_group</group-name>
</security-role-mapping>

works. What all methods are implemented and so on. If anyone could send me the source
code of the custom Realm that would be of great help.

Programmatically Updating a custom realm
Hi,
We have created a custom realm that uses a rdbms. We have a piece of code that creates
a new user in the db, and puts them into the appropriate group,
but since we are using a caching realm, the
groups are not being updated automatically with this new user
being in this group. How can we programmatically call the add member method
or even refresh the cache.
Cheers

Custom Realm using LDAP?
Hi,
has anyone implemented a custom realm using LDAP? I was suprised to learn that
ACLs are not supported in the LDAPRealm. Our corporate direction is to have a
central LDAP security store - including ACLs. Unfortunately the LDAP server is
MS SiteServer! Anyway, I assume this means I need to implement a custom realm
- unless there is an alternative.
-chrisYou are correct - you'll need to write a custom
realm to do this.
