[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-3084) Incompatibilitiy between ActiveMQ JAAS and Geronimo JAAS

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3084?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12488590 ] 

David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-3084:
----------------------------------------

I have not looked into this AT ALL so my comment may be ridiculous but I wonder if writing a jacc-based ActiveMQ authoriztion plugin would be the best solution here? There would be some ActiveMQ permissions and we'd check them against the ACC.  I tried something similar for jetspeed portal permissions and it worked fine.

> I have reconfigured Geronimo so that the ActiveMQ broker loads its configuration from an external XML file.  Within this file, I have specified a security configuration for my queues and topics.  This is the file:

> As can be seen, I am using the following JAAS login config domain: geronimo-admin.  This is the standard login domain that gets its users and groups from properties files.  However, when running the Geronimo server, JAAS cannot matchup the "admin" role specified in the ActiveMQ XML file with the "admin" role specified in the groups.properties file for the "geronimo-admin" login domain.  The problem is that the ActiveMQ role is a principal of type {{org.apache.activemq.jaas.GroupPrincipal}}, while the Geronimo JAAS "admin" role is of the type {{org.apache.geronimo.security.realm.providers.GeronimoGroupPrincipal}}.  Because these principals are different classes, they are not considered "equal" to each other by the {{equals()}} method on {{org.apache.activemq.jaas.GroupPrincipal}}.  The stack trace where the error occurs is here:

> Securing the ActiveMQ resources is an important component to securing a production server, so some way of resolving this issue should be determined.
