Hi,

I’m having a problem with the MyEclipse setting “JAAS login configuration file”.

If I need to use this, what should come in here? I had placed the line

D:\temp\grops\config\jaas.policy

in this field, but the file is not read by Weblogic 8. When I add this:

-Djava.security.auth.policy=D:/temp/grops/config/jaas.policy

in the Optional Java VM arguments it works, although there is a note on this dialog not to add -Djava lines. Adding the line in the classpath, as suggested, had also not worked.

So if not the jaas.policy, then what should be entered in “JAAS login configuration file”?

Thanks!

This sounds like a bug Emery, can you mail this policy file to us (support@genuitec.com ATTN Riyad) for us to simulate what you are seeing? I don’t know the contents of a policy file, so I don’t know if sensative information is in it.

Emery,
I didn’t receive any startup errors using your policy file at all, how do you know that it isn’t being used?

[Emery]

Because the roles and permission in the file are not accepted in the application. When I add the line:

-Djava.security.auth.policy=D:/temp/grops/config/jaas.policy

in the Weblogic JDK Optional Java VM Arguments list, it does work.

I have filed this for us to look into, in the mean time please continue using -D until we can figure out what is going on. This may be an item that gets fixed in 5.0 when we redo the server connectors.

Emery,
I just got an update from the devs, this bug is actually going to get fixed in our next build, thank you for your patience waiting for the fix.
