Login failure: javax.security.auth.login.FailedLoginException: Password Incorrect/Password Required

Question

I got a problem with authentication and JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final "Brontes" and JSF 2.0

JBoss standalone.xml

 <security-domain name="testRealm" cache-type="default">
                    <authentication>

                            <module-option name="dsJndiName" value="java:jboss/datasources/jbossauth"/>
                            <module-option name="principalsQuery" value="select password from users where name=?"/>
                            <module-option name="hashAlgorithm" value="MD5"/>
                            <module-option name="hashEncoding" value="base64"/>

                    </authentication>
                </security-domain>

I get always the exception:

The Passwort is right ("wurst" aka "i6RvA50nWSDriR8f9kXwWQ=="

created with linux "echo -n wurst | openssl dgst -MD5 -binary | openssl base64")

I can see in the SQL Profiler that the Databaseconnection is working, ...I tried plain text, still the same error

Any help would be very appreciated!

Answer 1

I had the same problem once.

You should create jboss-web.xml file in the same folder where is your web.xml (WEB-INF). Then, you should write it's body like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
    <security-domain>java:/jaas/testRealm</security-domain>
</jboss-web>
