Does SingleSignOn valve works for web apps deployed inside an .ear file?

Hello there,

OS Version:     CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804
(Core) 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64
Server version: Apache Tomcat/8.5.32 (TomEE 7.0.5)

I am deploying a (huge, sigh...) .ear file with multiple .war applications
on it. I was wondering if the good and
old "org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" valve would work with
them.

For the deployment I am copying the .ear file in an "apps" folder inside my
$CATALINA_BASE. My conf/tomee.xml looks like:

<tomee>
   <!-- activate next line to be able to deploy applications in apps -->
  <Deployments dir="apps" autoDeploy="true"/>
</tomee>

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance,

Luis

Hi Romain,

Just for the completeness of the exercise I did test the SSO valve with two
web modules in an .ear file using <auth-method>FORM</auth-method> and it
works, great!

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Luis

Hi Romain,

Wow, that was fast, thanks!

Well, probably I am taking it too far away. I am testing it together with
another SSO valve, org.keycloak.adapters.saml.tomcat.SamlAuthenticatorValve
[1]. My idea would that once the user is authenticated by our SSO and
his/her java.security.Principal object are created, the next requests for
protected resources will not trigger the SSO authentication.

Just for the record: that keycloak valve works, but my problem is that one
of the modules declares <context-root>/</context-root> and has some
resources (/res, /Info, /search, etc..) that are shared with the rest of
the modules. Short-long-story: a good mess :)

Thanks for your prompt reaction!

Cheers,

Luis

Hi Luis,

yes, it relies on "local" storage accross webapps so it works.
