JaasAuthenticationProvider & AuthorityGranter

[dlarosa11]

Hello out there. I've been banging my head for a couple of days and have no more obvious (or not so obvious) strategies for getting JasperServer to use my Jaas classes to authenticate. The authenticate actually works fine, but I choke when trying to grant authority.

[p]

I am looking for a working example of a JaasAuthentication provider with a home-spun AuthorityGranter. The only example I've found is the TestAuthorityGranter class, but I don't see it all rolled up in a working applicationContext-security.xml file.

I've created a class that implements the acegi AuthorityGranter interface, but when JBoss tries to create the bean from my applicationSContext-security.xml file, I'm getting the following exception:

 

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'ptiJaasAuthenticationProvider' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are: PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type [java.util.ArrayList] to required type [org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.AuthorityGranter[]] for property 'authorityGranters'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [com.perimeter.authentication.PtiAuthorityGranter] to required type [org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.AuthorityGranter] for property 'authorityGranters[0]': no matching editors or conversion strategy found Caused by: org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessException details (1) are: PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type [java.util.ArrayList] to required type [org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.AuthorityGranter[]] for property 'authorityGranters'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [com.perimeter.authentication.PtiAuthorityGranter] to required type [org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.AuthorityGranter] for property 'authorityGranters[0]': no matching editors or conversion strategy found Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [com.perimeter.authentication.PtiAuthorityGranter] to required type [org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.AuthorityGranter] for property 'authorityGranters[0]': no matching editors or conversion strategy found at org.springframework.beans.TypeConverterDelegate.convertIfNecessary(TypeConverterDelegate.java:224) at org.springframework.beans.TypeConverterDelegate.convertIfNecessary(TypeConverterDelegate.java:124) at org.springframework.beans.TypeConverterDelegate.convertToTypedArray(TypeConverterDelegate.java:282)

 

Here is my AuthorityGranter:

 

Code:

public class PtiAuthorityGranter implements org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.AuthorityGranter
{
    public Set grant(Principal principal)
    {
        Set rtnSet = new HashSet();

	// just add administrator right off the bat for now
	// TODO: check database for permissions and add appropriate ones
	rtnSet.add("ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR"«»);

        // if (principal.getName().equals("TEST_PRINCIPAL"«»)) {
	//    rtnSet.add("ROLE_TEST1"«»);
	//    rtnSet.add("ROLE_TEST2"«»);
	// }
	
        return rtnSet;
    }
}

 

Here's a snippet from my applicationContext-security.xml

 

Code:

[code] <bean id="authenticationManager" class="org.acegisecurity.providers.ProviderManager"> <property name="providers"> <list> <!-- here is the list of authentication mechanisms --> <ref local="ptiJaasAuthenticationProvider"/> </list> </property> </bean> <bean id="ptiJaasAuthenticationProvider" class="org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.JaasAuthenticationProvider"> <!-- TODO: we don't actually want to look here, we should look in server/default/conf/login-conf.xml for jboss --> <property name="loginConfig"> <value>/WEB-INF/login.conf</value> </property> <property name="loginContextName"> <value>RealtimeAppDb</value> </property> <property name="callbackHandlers"> <list> <bean class="org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.JaasNameCallbackHandler"/> <bean class="org.acegisecurity.providers.jaas.JaasPasswordCallbackHandler"/> </list> </property> <property name="authorityGranters"> <list> <bean class="com.perimeter.authentication.PtiAuthorityGranter"/> </list> </property> </bean>

 

Any help, of course, is greatly appreciated.

The class and configuration look fine. I hate to seem basic about it, but is your class in the WEB-INF/lib? Does the package name in the config match what is defined for the class?
