Question

Hi
I am using Bonita5.2 and the Tomcat6.0.19 I exported the application(which gives a war file and some config file and libraries) and deployed in the tomcat. When I run the application, after the login page, I get the error 

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception
java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to locate a login configuration
    com.sun.security.auth.login.ConfigFile.(Unknown Source)
    sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)
    sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source)
    sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Unknown Source)
    java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Unknown Source)
         .
         .
         .
         .

Before starting tomcat I run a bat file with the following content:

set BONITA_OPTS="-Dorg.ow2.bonita.environment=d:\Tomcat6.0\conf\bonita-environment.xml"
set LOG_OPTS="-Djava.util.logging.config.file=d:\Tomcat6.0\conf\logging.properties"
set SECURITY_OPTS="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=d:\Tomcat6.0\conf\jaas-standard.cfg"
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOG_OPTS% %SECURITY_OPTS% %BONITA_OPTS%

I guess this error is because the jaas config file is not found. But I am sure about the paths I have mentioned.

What else could be that I am missing to configure for jaas?

Thanks

Was it helpful?

Solution 3


I have resolve this problem. I needed to put the jaas cnfig file path in the file 

JAVA_HOME\jre6\lib\security\java.security

Thanks

OTHER TIPS

Specifying the jaas config file like so on the command line would work also:

-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:/Apps/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/conf/jaas.config

I am using the Tomcat 6.0.13 extracted (not Windows service) version and I faced the similar problem.

To fix it, I simply added the the following option to catalina.bat file:

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% "-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:/SecureLoginModule.conf" %LOGGING_CONFIG%

It worked for me.

-- Tks

Try this:

String configFileLocation = getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/jaas.config");
    System.err.println(configFileLocation);
    System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", configFileLocation);

in your servlet or JSP

inside catalina.bat

under line :okhome

add the following line

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.security.auth.login.config=%CATALINA_HOME%/conf/jaas.config

It works for me. I have that error for past 2 days and thanks you for some else post in here
