javax.security.sasl.SaslException: Authentic Failed while connecting to Jboss 7 server from remote client

Question

I have standalone Java client(Running from within eclipse ) that I wish to connect to an external server . If the server is localhost then i see no problems at all . However

Answer 1

One option is to do

final Hashtable jndiProperties = new Hashtable();
jndiProperties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");
jndiProperties.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
jndiProperties.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);

InitialContext aJNDI = new InitialContext(jndiProperties);

with a username that has access.

The same can be provided in jndi.properties, see documentation

Answer 2

Ok I have been able to figure out the problem .

It was a case of the application user being added incorrectly on the server side . Specifically see below .

[userone@localhost bin]$ ./add-user.sh

 

What type of user do you wish to add?

a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)

b) Application User (application-users.properties)

(a): b

 

Enter the details of the new user to add.

Realm (ApplicationRealm) :  ApplicationRealm ---->> Careful Here . You need to type this or leave it blank . I filled an incorrect value here and things went wrong from there .

Username : testuser

Password : testpassword

Re-enter Password : testpassword

 

What roles do you want this user to belong to? (Please enter a comma separated list, or leave blank for none) : testrole

About to add user 'testuser' for realm 'ApplicationRealm'

 

Is this correct yes/no? yes

 

Added user 'testuser' to file '/home/userone/jboss-as-7.1.0.Final/standalone/configuration/application-users.properties'

Added user 'testuser' to file '/home/userone/jboss-as-7.1.0.Final/domain/configuration/application-users.properties'

Added user 'testuser' with roles testrole to file '/home/userone/jboss-as-7.1.0.Final/standalone/configuration/application-roles.properties'

Added user 'testuser' with roles testrole to file '/home/userone/jboss-as-7.1.0.Final/domain/configuration/application-roles.properties'

.

I took me a long time to figure this out . Helpful link for the same :: http://middlewaremagic.com/jboss/?p=1466
