Re: [jetty-users] HttpServletRequest Returns NULL Principal After Logging In

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for your timely reply. Just to confirm, are you suggesting to have the login module extend AbstractLoginModule and override getUserInfo only? In my case, the login module relies on another class to do the authentication, so I have to override login as well. If in this case, shall I maintain other fields of AbstractLoginModule (like currentUser) manually in login function?

Best,
Yicheng

Hi
Can you try with a simple subclass of AbstractLoginModule?
This should work.

Hi Team,

First of all, thank you for developing Jetty. I'm working on a project to
replace WebLogic with Jetty, and I've been stuck with authentication for
quite a while.

The previous project implements the JAAS interface and stores all user
information with self-maintained files, instead of using realm. I tried to
implement the login module with the same code. And I followed the official
document to set the configuration, but without realm. The login part works
fine. But after logging in, no matter what request I send to Jetty,
principal is always null and thus the user is deemed as unauthenticated and
is logged out. While for the login request, I do get the principal from the
request.

I have no idea about the root cause. Some of my guesses are as below.
1. I read the source code of AbstractLoginModule class, and there're a bunch
of fields like currentUser etc. I guess I shouldn't implement LoginModule
directly, as this breaks the inner mechanism of how Jetty integrates
customized login module.
2. I'm missing some critical configurations of HTTP requests.
3. I also notice session is not working properly at this point. Does session
have anything to do with null principal in the request?

Do appreciate your kind help!

Yicheng
