Is it possible to programmatically set Principal in JSF+EJB - jsf

I want to retrieve username using EJBContext.getCallerPrincipal()
public class GlobalInterceptor {
#EJB
private AuditLogsEJB auditLogsEJB;
#Resource
private EJBContext context;
#AroundInvoke
public Object auditLog(InvocationContext invocationContext) throws Exception
{
System.out.println(context.getCallerPrincipal()); //it outputs "ANONYMOUS"
}
}
However I don't have any security realm, I don't have any <security-role> or <group-name> defined because the username/password is sent to a remote application to validate. But for convenience sake I still want to use the Principal class to get username and role.
Is there a way to programmatically set Principal(username and role) in JSF managed bean or any EJB, so that the interceptor can retrieve it? e.g.:
String role = authenticationWSPort.validate(username, password);
if(role != null)
{
Principal p = new Principal(username);
p.getRoles.add(role);
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().blah-blah.blah-blah.addPrincipal(p);
//I am looking for something similar to the 3 lines above
}
else
// invalid username and password

Obviously the correct way to do this is by setting up a realm, and using that.
Perhaps you could create & configure your own Realm implementation that would let you create users on the fly, prior to invoking request.login(username, password) in a servlet.
Or.
If you -really- want to futz with the underlying Request, it's possible, but it's application-server specific, and goes something like this, assuming you're in a tomcat (catalina) based container:
if (request instanceof RequestFacade) {
Request unwrapped = null;
RequestFacade rf = RequestFacade.class.cast(request);
try {
Field requestField = rf.getClass().getDeclaredField("request");
requestField.setAccessible(true);
unwrapped = Request.class.cast(requestField.get(rf));
} catch (NoSuchFieldException | SecurityException | IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException ex) {
unwrapped = null;
}
if (unwrapped != null) {
unwrapped.setUserPrincipal(... your principal construction here ...);
}
}

Configure Apache Shiro to load [urls] section fully from JPA Entities

I can't seem to find an example to load the [users] AND [urls] from my JPA objects.
I want to use shiro.ini for [main] section only.
The source code of what I achieved so far is this:
Unable to #Inject my DAO in a Custom Apache Shiro AuthorizingRealm
Is there any example where [users] (user/pass) AND [urls] (roles, permissions) are FULLY loaded from database? I can't seem to find that anywhere. I'm looking for it for 1 week now.
After some long research, the "best" solution I came up with was this:
shiro.ini
[main]
jsfFilter = com.test.security.CustomAuthorizationFilter
jsfFilter.loginUrl = /login.jsf
[urls]
/** = jsfFilter
// You can add the methods to filter Ajax requests described by BalusC inside this filter.
CustomAuthorizationFilter.java
public class CustomAuthorizationFilter extends AuthorizationFilter {
#Override
public boolean isAccessAllowed(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, Object mappedValue) throws IOException {
HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
if (!httpRequest.getRequestURI().startsWith(httpRequest.getContextPath() + ResourceHandler.RESOURCE_IDENTIFIER)) {
Subject subject = SecurityUtils.getSubject();
AuthenticatingSecurityManager authenticatingSecurityManager = ((AuthenticatingSecurityManager) SecurityUtils.getSecurityManager());
PrincipalCollection principals = subject.getPrincipals();
JPARealm jpaRealm = (JPARealm) authenticatingSecurityManager.getRealms().iterator().next();
AuthorizationInfo authorizationInfo = jpaRealm.getAuthorizationInfo(principals);
for (String permission : authorizationInfo.getStringPermissions()) {
if (pathsMatch(permission, request)) {
return true;
}
}
} else {
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
The pathsMatch(permission, request) method will try to validate/compare the received string permission with the path the user is trying to access.
This filter relies on ALWAYS having an authenticated user.
If the subject.getPrincipal() is null, more coding is necessary.
If anyone needs the whole code, let me know.

Is WCF Service EntitySetRights.AllRead Secure?

I have the following code inside MyDataService.svc.cs (This is an example from DevExpress):
namespace MyDataService {
[System.ServiceModel.ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true)]
[JSONPSupportBehavior]
public class DataService : DataService<TestDataEntities>, IServiceProvider {
public static void InitializeService(DataServiceConfiguration config) {
config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.AllRead);
config.DataServiceBehavior.MaxProtocolVersion = DataServiceProtocolVersion.V3;
}
public object GetService(Type serviceType) {
if (serviceType == typeof(IDataServiceStreamProvider)) {
return new ImageStreamProvider();
}
return null;
}
protected override void OnStartProcessingRequest(ProcessRequestArgs args) {
CustomBasicAuth.Authenticate(HttpContext.Current);
if (HttpContext.Current.User == null)
throw new DataServiceException(401, "Invalid login or password");
base.OnStartProcessingRequest(args);
}
}
}
So while this is will check the Entity for a username and password, how safe is it that config.SetEntitySetAccessRule is set to AllRead. Wouldn't someone just be able to see this information on a url such as www.website.com/MyDataService.svc/Customer (where Customer is the table). If this is not so can someone please fill in the conceptual gap I am facing. Thanks!
You are correct that all entities will be returned when queried - AllRead just disallows insert updates and deletes.
You will need to use Query Interceptor to add your logic to restrict users to the set of data they have permission to view, for example adding a check user id to the query.

JBoss AS 7 security: how to get currently logged username?

I am in a Jboss AS 7 environment. My application's /admIn/* path is protected by a security-constraint which requires form based authentication. Security domain is database backed.
It's ok but now I want to display a "good morning " in each page's header.
I'm looking for some sort of getLoggedUsername() or getPrincipal() function but I can't find it.
Please post a reference to the official docs if any.
Thank you.
You should be able to use JAAS. Which is what JBoss 7 ought to be using.
The calling principal will be stored in a SessionContext which you can obtain by telling JBoss it's a resource.
#Resource
private SessionContext context;
public void myAwesomeMethod() {
String currentUser = context.getCallerPrincipal().getName();
}
If for some reason the Injection doesn't work on a Stateless bean, you can look up the EJBContext direct.
#Stateless
public class HelloBean implements com.foo.ejb.HelloRemote {
public void hello() {
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
SessionContext sctxLookup =
(SessionContext) ic.lookup("java:comp/EJBContext");
System.out.println("look up EJBContext by standard name: " + sctxLookup);
} catch (NamingException ex) {
throw new IllegalStateException(ex);
}
}
}
This snippet was obtained from 4 ways to obtain EJBContext.

Programmatically control login with Servlet 3.0

I've tested the default security containers in Glassfish 3.0.1 and come to the conclusion that I won't spend any more time on that. Instead I want to control the verification myself. But I need some guidance to get me on right track.
At the moment I have a UserBean that has a login/logout function (see below). And I don't want to use the *j_security_check* built in container, but use core JSF 2.0.
My questions are;
Do I need a ServletFilter to redirect traffic if the user is not logged in (if accessing certain folders)?
How do I store User Pricipals after the user successfully logged in ?
Appreciate any help or link to a example, greetings Chris.
PS. Excuse me for clustering two questions together
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class UserBean {
private AuthenticateUser authenticateUser;
...
public String login() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
JsfUtil.log("Username : " +authenticateUser.getUserName());
JsfUtil.log("Password : " +authenticateUser.getPassword());
AuthenticateUser authRequest = authenticationFacade.find(authenticateUser);
try {
if(!authRequest.equals(authenticateUser))
return "/loginError";
request.login(authenticateUser.getUserName(), authenticateUser.getPassword());
return "";
} catch(ServletException e){
JsfUtil.addErrorMessage(e, "Incorrect username or password, please try again.");
return "/loginError";
}
...
public String logOut() {
String result = "/index?faces-redirect=true";
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
try {
request.logout();
} catch (ServletException e) {
JsfUtil.log("Failed to logout user!" +e.getRootCause().toString());
result = "/loginError?faces-redirect=true";
}
return result;
}
When you want to utilize request.login(), then you should really have configured a Realm in the container which represents the user database. But you seem to have replaced the Realm by some AuthenticationFacade. In this case, the request.login() is not useful for you.
You need to just put the user in the session scope and intercept on that. Here's a kickoff example:
#ManagedBean
#SessionScoped
public class UserManager {
#EJB
private UserService userService;
private String username;
private String password;
private User current;
public String login() {
current = userService.find(username, password);
if (current == null) {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Unknown login, try again"));
return null;
} else {
return "userhome?faces-redirect=true";
}
}
public String logout() {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().invalidateSession();
return "index?faces-redirect=true";
}
public boolean isLoggedIn() {
return current != null;
}
// Getters/setters (but do NOT provide a setter for current!)
}
When taking authentication in hands like this, then you definitely need a filter to restrict access. When using container managed security you would typically specify it as <url-pattern> of <security-constraint> for this. But without it, you've to take it in your hands. It's good to know that JSF managed beans are keyed by their managed bean name in any scope.
UserManager userManager = ((HttpServletRequest) request).getSession().getAttribute("userManager");
if (userManager == null || !userManager.isLoggedIn()) {
((HttpServletResponse) response).sendRedirect("login.xhtml");
} else {
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
Map the above filter on the desired URL-pattern.
When you still want to reconsider using container managed authentication, then the following related answers may be useful:
Java EE Login Page Problem (and Configuring Realm in Glassfish)
Performing user authentication in Java EE / JSF using j_security_check
Be aware if you are if you are using JDBC realm security. There are some fixed/expected words in the fields where you configure the realm in the Glassfish admin console.
In the JAAS Context: filed, you have to type: jdbcRealm. This keyword makes the security container use the expected JDBC realm. If you type something else, it won't work.
Here is good example, done by Gordan Jugo; Netbeans/Glassfish JDBC Security Realm

How can I limit login attempts in Spring Security?

Is there some configuration or available module in Spring Security to limit login attempts (ideally, I'd like to have an increasing wait time between subsequent failed attempts)? If not, which part of the API should be used for this?
From Spring 4.2 upwards annotation based event listeners are available:
#Component
public class AuthenticationEventListener {
#EventListener
public void authenticationFailed(AuthenticationFailureBadCredentialsEvent event) {
String username = (String) event.getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
// update the failed login count for the user
// ...
}
}
Implement an AuthenticationFailureHandler that updates a count/time in the DB. I wouldn't count on using the session because the attacker is not going to be sending cookies anyway.
I recently implemented a similar functionality to monitor login failures using JMX. Please see the code in my answer to question Publish JMX notifications in using Spring without NotificationPublisherAware. An aspect on the authenticate method of authentication provider updates MBean and works with a notification listener (code not shown in that question) to block user and IP, send alert emails and even suspend the login if failures exceed a threshold.
Edit
Similar to my answer to question Spring security 3 : Save informations about authentification in database, I think that capturing an authentication failure event (as opposed to customizing a handler) and storing information in database will also work and it will keep the code decoupled as well.
As suggested by Rob Winch in http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?108640-Login-attempts-Spring-security, I just subclassed DaoAuthenticationProvider (which could also have been done using an aspect as Ritesh suggests) to limit the number of failed logins, but you could also assert pre-conditions as well:
public class LimitingDaoAuthenticationProvider extends DaoAuthenticationProvider {
#Autowired
private UserService userService;
#Override
public Authentication authenticate(Authentication authentication)
throws AuthenticationException {
// Could assert pre-conditions here, e.g. rate-limiting
// and throw a custom AuthenticationException if necessary
try {
return super.authenticate(authentication);
} catch (BadCredentialsException e) {
// Will throw a custom exception if too many failed logins have occurred
userService.recordLoginFailure(authentication);
throw e;
}
}
}
In Spring config XML, simply reference this bean:
<beans id="authenticationProvider"
class="mypackage.LimitingDaoAuthenticationProvider"
p:userDetailsService-ref="userDetailsService"
p:passwordEncoder-ref="passwordEncoder"/>
<security:authentication-manager>
<security:authentication-provider ref="authenticationProvider"/>
</security:authentication-manager>
Note that I think that solutions which rely on accessing an AuthenticationException's authentication or extraInformation properties (such as implementing an AuthenticationFailureHandler) should probably not be used because those properties are now deprecated (in Spring Security 3.1 at least).
You could also use a service which implements ApplicationListener<AuthenticationFailureBadCredentialsEvent> to update the record in DB.
See spring application events.
Here is my implementation, hope help.
Create a table to store any invalid login attempts.
If invalid attempts > max allowed, set UserDetail.accountNonLocked to false
Spring Security will handle the "lock process" for you. (refer to AbstractUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider)
Last, extends DaoAuthenticationProvider, and integrate the logic inside.
#Component("authenticationProvider")
public class YourAuthenticationProvider extends DaoAuthenticationProvider {
#Autowired
UserAttemptsDao userAttemptsDao;
#Override
public Authentication authenticate(Authentication authentication)
throws AuthenticationException {
try {
Authentication auth = super.authenticate(authentication);
//if corrent password, reset the user_attempts
userAttemptsDao.resetFailAttempts(authentication.getName());
return auth;
} catch (BadCredentialsException e) {
//invalid login, update user_attempts, set attempts+1
userAttemptsDao.updateFailAttempts(authentication.getName());
throw e;
}
}
}
For full source code and implementation, please refer to this - Spring Security limit login attempts example,
create a table to store the values of failed attempts ex : user_attempts
Write custom event listener
#Component("authenticationEventListner")
public class AuthenticationEventListener
implements AuthenticationEventPublisher
{
#Autowired
UserAttemptsServices userAttemptsService;
#Autowired
UserService userService;
private static final int MAX_ATTEMPTS = 3;
static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AuthenticationEventListener.class);
#Override
public void publishAuthenticationSuccess(Authentication authentication) {
logger.info("User has been logged in Successfully :" +authentication.getName());
userAttemptsService.resetFailAttempts(authentication.getName());
}
#Override
public void publishAuthenticationFailure(AuthenticationException exception, Authentication authentication) {
logger.info("User Login failed :" +authentication.getName());
String username = authentication.getName().toString();
UserAttempts userAttempt = userAttemptsService.getUserAttempts(username);
User userExists = userService.findBySSO(username);
int attempts = 0;
String error = "";
String lastAttempted = "";
if (userAttempt == null) {
if(userExists !=null ){
userAttemptsService.insertFailAttempts(username); }
} else {
attempts = userAttempt.getAttempts();
lastAttempted = userAttempt.getLastModified();
userAttemptsService.updateFailAttempts(username, attempts);
if (attempts + 1 >= MAX_ATTEMPTS) {
error = "User account is locked! <br>Username : "
+ username+ "<br>Last Attempted on : " + lastAttempted;
throw new LockedException(error);
}
}
throw new BadCredentialsException("Invalid User Name and Password");
}
}
3.Security Configuration
1) #Autowired
#Qualifier("authenticationEventListner")
AuthenticationEventListener authenticationEventListner;
2) #Bean
public AuthenticationEventPublisher authenticationListener() {
return new AuthenticationEventListener();
}
3) #Autowired
public void
configureGlobalSecurity(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService).passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
//configuring custom user details service
