jaas

I have a webapp which has angularJS on the frontend and Java on the backed. Angular communicates with the java backend via Restful webservices consuming and sending JSON across HTTP. I need to build the authentication mechanism for this app and was wondering how would be the best approach, currently I'm using JAAS based authentication (JDBC user table). This is how my app is configured: My web.xml configuration has: <login-config> <auth-method>FORM</auth-method> <realm-name>userauth</realm-name> <form-login-config> <form-login-page>/login.html</form-login-page> <form-error-page>/loginError

Is it possible to use JAAS within an android app? In the android API most of the classes of the javax.security.auth package are saying Legacy security code; do not use. But is there any replacement for user-centric JAAS on android? Or might it work if I manually deploy the jaas.jar ? JAAS doesn't really apply to Android. JAAS provides user-centric security to Java-based applications (who is the identity - usually a "user" such as an LDAP user id - that is "running" the application and are they allowed to do what they are trying to). In Android, user IDs are used differently in that each

I'm pulling my hair out try to get LDAP authentication to work with Active Directory. We've just setup a SharePoint Server 2010 and we thought it would be a good idea to also authenticate users against the Active Directory given it's already there for SharePoint. Our environment is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. I have one user with username of ahsieh@rdl.com.tw According to this answer https://serverfault.com/a/130556 my provider URL should be ldap://192.168.0.81:389/CN=Users,DC=rdl,DC=com,DC=tw (note that instead of using the hostname of vm-sps.rdl.com.tw, I've elected to use the IP

I'm trying to obtain the HttpSession or Request in my Login Module. I already tried JACC, but it didn't work. I need this because I have to put a captcha in a login window. Maybe some JAAS ninja knows a better way to do that. I'm using kaptcha to do that. thanks in advance. Fábio Silva I do exactly that in my applications running on JBoss AS. Here's what I do to access the HttpServletRequest from within the login module: HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) PolicyContext.getContext(HttpServletRequest.class.getName()); Then I get the session, extract the captcha and validate it

Getting error while sending message to kafka topic in kerberosed enviornment. We have cluster on hdp 2.3 I followed this http://henning.kropponline.de/2016/02/21/secure-kafka-java-producer-with-kerberos/ But for sending messages, I have to do kinit explicitly first, then only I am able to send message to kafka topic. I tried to do knit through java class but that also doesn't work. PFB code: package com.ct.test.kafka; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Properties; import java.util.Random; import kafka.javaapi.producer.Producer; import kafka.producer.KeyedMessage; import kafka.producer
