  1. PODeclarative security role name containing asterisk fails to work
    text
    copied!<p>I'm having a problem with my declarative security entries in web.xml.</p> <p>The entries below are not allowing me to access the page, even though I am a member of the group <code>*ADL - Education Group</code>. I end up being directed to the login-noauth page.</p> <p>I know this should work -- if I change it to a different group (like <code>AT - Tech Support</code>), it works great. I am suspicious of the leading "*" in the group name and have tried using CDATA in the web.xml, but that didn't work. I have no control over the Active Directory entries, so I can't change the name of the group. Other group names with dashes and spaces work fine.</p> <p>I have verified that I am a member of the group <code>*ADL - Education Group</code>.</p> <p>This is on a simple tomcat 6.0 server.</p> <p>Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?</p> <pre><code>&lt;error-page&gt; &lt;error-code&gt;403&lt;/error-code&gt; &lt;location&gt;/pages/login/login-noauth.jsf&lt;/location&gt; &lt;/error-page&gt; &lt;login-config&gt; &lt;auth-method&gt;FORM&lt;/auth-method&gt; &lt;form-login-config&gt; &lt;form-login-page&gt;/pages/login/login.jsf&lt;/form-login-page&gt; &lt;form-error-page&gt;/pages/login/login-fail.jsf&lt;/form-error-page&gt; &lt;/form-login-config&gt; &lt;/login-config&gt; &lt;security-constraint&gt; &lt;display-name&gt;Batch Security&lt;/display-name&gt; &lt;web-resource-collection&gt; &lt;web-resource-name&gt;Batch Security&lt;/web-resource-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;/pages/batch/batch-status.jsf&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/web-resource-collection&gt; &lt;auth-constraint&gt; &lt;role-name&gt;*ADL - Education Group&lt;/role-name&gt; &lt;/auth-constraint&gt; &lt;/security-constraint&gt; &lt;security-role&gt; &lt;description&gt;Everyone&lt;/description&gt; &lt;role-name&gt;*ADL - Education Group&lt;/role-name&gt; &lt;/security-role&gt; </code></pre>
