4.3. The JaasSecurityDomain MBean

The org.jboss.security.plugins.JaasSecurityDomain is an extension of JaasSecurityManager that adds the notion of a KeyStore, a JSSE KeyManagerFactory and a TrustManagerFactory for supporting SSL and other cryptographic use cases. The additional configurable attributes of the JaasSecurityDomain include:
KeyStoreType
The type of the KeyStore implementation. This is the type argument passed to the java.security.KeyStore.getInstance(String type) factory method. The default is JKS.
KeyStoreURL
A URL to the location of the KeyStore database. This is used to obtain an InputStream to initialize the KeyStore. If the string does not contain a name/value URL, the value is treated as a file.
KeyStorePass
The password associated with the KeyStore database contents. The KeyStorePass is also used in combination with the Salt and IterationCount attributes to create a PBE secret key used with the encode/decode operations. The KeyStorePass attribute value format is one of the following:
  • The plain text password for the KeyStore. The toCharArray() value of the string is used without any manipulation.
  • A command to execute to obtain the plaintext password. The format is {EXT}... where the ... is the exact command line that will be passed to the Runtime.exec(String) method to execute a platform-specific command. The first line of the command output is used as the password.
  • A class to create to obtain the plaintext password. The format is {CLASS}classname[:ctorarg] where the [:ctorarg] is an optional string that will be passed to the constructor when instantiating the classname. The password is obtained from classname by invoking a toCharArray() method if found, otherwise, the toString() method is used.
Salt
The PBEParameterSpec salt value.
IterationCount
The PBEParameterSpec iteration count value.
TrustStoreType
The type of the TrustStore implementation. This is the type argument passed to the java.security.KeyStore.getInstance(String type) factory method. The default is JKS.
TrustStoreURL
A URL to the location of the TrustStore database. This is used to obtain an InputStream to initialize the KeyStore. If the string is not a value URL, it is treated as a file.
TrustStorePass
The password associated with the trust store database contents. The TrustStorePass is a simple password and does not have the same configuration options as the KeyStorePass.
ManagerServiceName
Sets the JMX object name string of the security manager service MBean. This is used to register the defaults to register the JaasSecurityDomain as a the security manager under java:/jaas/<domain> where <domain> is the name passed to the MBean constructor. The name defaults to jboss.security:service=JaasSecurityManager.
