Issue with authentication inside a war file deployed in JBoss

Posted on

I'm encountering an authentication issue within my JBoss domain mode deployment, and I'm hoping the community can help.

Symptoms:

I have two requests attempting to access the same EJB method.
The first request, configured with cluster="none", succeeds in authentication and authorization.
The second request, configured with cluster="ejb", fails with authentication errors (e.g., PBOX00292, PBOX00299).
Context:

I'm using JBoss 7.4 in DOMAIN MODE.
The EJB method requires a role for access.
I'm unsure why the cluster configuration affects authentication behavior.
Troubleshooting Steps:

I've verified user context setup and role assignments for both requests.
I've investigated potential caching issues.
I'm reviewing JBoss security configuration (DelegatingAuthorizationModule, role mappings).
Question:

What could be causing these different authentication outcomes based on the cluster configuration?
Are there any additional troubleshooting steps I should consider?

I appreciate any insights or suggestions the community can offer!
