Problems with user authentication - DAO

Hello,

I am trying to move the jasper server user authentication to a custom database which already exists. Now the problem is I found out thanks to the documentation on this site and the acegi security documentation that the hook point is the security provider, respectively, UserDetailService dao.
The problem is, if I replace the userdetail service with my implementation or a custom in memory implementation, with my own users in it, the authentication fails.
The problem in memory might be related to unencrypted passwords in the config files, but I am not sure
(I know security etc....)

Is there an example on how to hook custom user databases into the jasper server or is this not possible unless the users exist already in the jasper server database?

3 Answers:

Your custom DAO or in-memory implementation is fine. The authenticationManager can be configured to use a list of authentication services, and you can have several services try to authenticate the user name/password.

How does the authentication fail? You need to give more details, like a stack trace, log files etc

Ok, first of all, thanks for the quick answer.
I am in fact already one step further.
I implemented an authenticationprovider and an authentication service.
The provider basically ignores all authentication checks as a first step and the service generates a user with predefined roles from the request. So far so good, the jasper server now accepts the login, also it writes that the user is authenticated but the forward to the main page still does not work, it still is stuck in the login page.

The affect server log says:

WARN LoggerListener,http-8080-Processor25:55 - Authentication event InteractiveAuthenticationSuccessEvent: lexow; details: org.acegisecurity.ui.WebAuthenticationDetails@fffc7f0c: RemoteIpAddress: 127.0.0.1; SessionId: 9C0EB6BDE4FB115FFE87811F5BADD8BA
16:30:05,238 WARN UserAuthorityServiceImpl,http-8080-Processor25:500 - Added following external roles to: lexow
ROLE_ANONYMOUS
ROLE_USER

16:30:05,247 WARN UserAuthorityServiceImpl,http-8080-Processor25:536 - Updated user: lexow. Roles are now:
ROLE_USER
ROLE_ANONYMOUS
ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR

16:30:05,292 WARN UserAuthorityServiceImpl,http-8080-Processor25:542 - Updated user: lexow. Roles are now:
ROLE_USER
ROLE_ANONYMOUS
ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR


Well as it seems the server accepts the authentication for the foreign datasources now, but does not do anything afterwards.
Attached are the two source files, the authentication provider and the user
