patch

roleNested introduced with Tomcat 6.0.24 works well with roleSearch="(member={0})", but not with roleSearch="(member={1})"

From tomcat doc :
"Use {0} to substitute the distinguished name (DN) of the user, and/or {1} to substitute the username."


I've attached a patch to change line :
filter = roleFormat.format(new String[] { groupDN });
into :
filter = roleFormat.format(new String[] { groupDN, groupDN });

Like that it handles both {0} and {1}.

Regards,

Gabriel.

This has been fixed in trunk and proposed for 6.0.x.

Many thanks for the patch.

I do not think that this patch is good.

See, groupDN is a full distinguished name of a role, while in your case {1} was just a name. Does it work for your configuration?

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html#JNDIRealm

For reference, previous discussion:
http://markmail.org/message/cv3i6set7yte57yr


In any case,
1) If your configuration works when you do
roleSearch="(member={1})" when {1} is a DN of a group,
 then I think we would better provide a separate attribute to specify search filter for the nested roles.


E.g.,
roleSearch="(member={1})" roleNestedSearch="(member={0})"
where {0} in the second case is a group DN, as it is now.


We can default roleNestedSearch to be the same as roleSearch when roleNested="true",  and to default roleNested="true" when roleNestedSearch is explicitly specified.


2) If you need unqualified rolename,
it can be obtained, but the patch will be more complicated.

In the code we have
  Set<String> newGroupDNs = new HashSet<String>(groupMap.keySet());
  ..
  for (String groupDN : newGroupDNs) {
  ..
  groupMap.put(dname, name);

We should replace Set<String> newGroupDNs  with
  Map<String,String> newGroups = new HashMap<String,String>(groupMap);

Perform iteration over entrySet of the map:
  for (Map.Entry<String,String> newGroup : newGroups.entrySet()) {

Then, newGroup.getKey() will give us the groupDN and newGroup.getValue() will give us the group name.



3) It would be nice to update realm-howto.html with documentation on using the roleNested="true". It is not documented yet.  Can you propose a patch for /webapps/docs/realm-howto.xml,  or at least describe your configuration so that it can be provided as an example there?
Comment 3 tahitiangabriel 2010-02-01 10:02:22 UTC
I think having roleNestedSearch="(member={0})" is a very good idea. Like that it should work for all kind of configurations.


For the moment I've switched to the "member={0}" instead of "member={1}", so I can use tomcat 6.0.24 in production.


Here's my conf (for a Domino 8.5) :
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm"
    connectionName="CN=XXXXXX,O=XXXXX" 
    connectionPassword="XXXXXX" 
    connectionURL="ldap://127.0.0.1:389" 
    roleName="cn" 
    roleNested="true" 
    roleSearch="(member={0})" 
    roleSubtree="true" 
    userSearch="(uid={0})" 
    userSubtree="true"/>

I'm not sure my english is good enough to update the doc...

add roleNested entry in doc

Here's a small patch to add the roleNested entry in the doc.
Maybe it should be nice to add an example also.
