javax.ejb.EJBAccessException: JBAS013323: Invalid User

Question

On my way to migrate from JBoss 7 to WildFly, I encountered another problem. When calling an rest service which is protected by @RolesAllowed("ADMIN") I get the following error:

13:46:44,359 ERROR [org.jboss.as.ejb3.invocation] (default task-1) JBAS014134: EJB Invocation failed on component TestFacade for method public java.lang.String net.dice.facade.TestFacade.generateTestdata(): javax.ejb.EJBAccessException: JBAS013323: Invalid User

My Bean:

@Stateless
@Path("testdata")
@RolesAllowed({ "ADMIN" })
public class TestFacade extends GenericService {

web.xml:

<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>REST services</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
        <role-name>ADMIN</role-name>
        <role-name>USER</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>dice</realm-name>
</login-config>
<security-role>
    <role-name>ADMIN</role-name>
</security-role>
<security-role>
    <role-name>USER</role-name>
</security-role>

My standalone.xml:

<security-domain name="dice">
    <authentication>
        <login-module code="Database" flag="required">
            <module-option name="dsJndiName" value="java:/jdbc/dice"/>
            <module-option name="principalsQuery" value="select passwordHash from player where lower(playertag)= lower(?)"/>
            <module-option name="rolesQuery" value="select role, 'Roles' from playerrole pr join player p on (pr.player_id = p.id) where lower(p.playertag)= lower(?)"/>
            <module-option name="unauthenticatedIdentity" value="guest"/>
            <module-option name="hashAlgorithm" value="SHA-256"/>
            <module-option name="hashEncoding" value="base64"/>
        </login-module>
    </authentication>
</security-domain>

The query for the roles returns: ADMIN, Roles (like mentioned in the spec)

The strange thing is when I remove the @RolesAllowed and check the Roles of the User with isCallerInRole(String) he has the admin role.

System.out.println(ctx.isCallerInRole("ADMIN")); // true
System.out.println(ctx.isCallerInRole("USER")); // false (is ok. he is just admin)
System.out.println(ctx.isCallerInRole("USERdsd")); // false (nonexisting role)

Can anyone spot my mistake? Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Solved it. The default security domain for the ejb subsystem was set to other per default. I just removed in (standalone.xml) and it worked!

Answer 2

As @mkuff described, removing the default security domain from the EJB subsystem helps. Here's how to do that with JBoss CLI:

$WILDFLY_LOCATION/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c \
  --command='/subsystem=ejb3:undefine-attribute(name=default-security-domain)'

Answer 3

This is also a problem with JBoss 7.2. A call to a method in a SLSB annotated with @PermitAll worked fine in JBoss 7.1.1 and 7.1.3 but got permission denied in jboss 7.2.0.Final.

After reading this I changed the default security domain to our applications domain and it worked. What I don't really see is why @PermitAll methods need to do any authenticating at all.
