Securing new application with ejbrole.

Post by joulin »

Hi,
I am in an Z/OS environment and i want to call SAF for securing my applications. I install the sepcial dovetail jar and do all necessary for implemantation like described in documentation. The manager EJBROLE role is called and all work fine like described.

Now i have an application (istrobe) who doesn't call ejbrole. At the minimum i want that this application will be available for user who have EJBROLE Istrobe. I don't find how to do this (i saw what was written on previous forum but it doesn't work). When i call the istrobe URL the signon screen is not displayed (like an unsecured application).

Thank for your help.
Regards
dovetail

suggest you contact Compuware on configuring security for iStrobe

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I ask to compuware to secure the application.
But in general, if the programmer doesn't interface the applet to use ejbrole, i have no security and no signon.
There is no way to force the use of an ejbrole when calling an applet ?

I would suspect that the problem is that you need to add role based security to the iStrobe web application - to protect certain / all sevlets. This would typically be don in the application's web.xml. See the Tomcat documentation for details.
