Multiple authentication modules

JAAS configurations can contain multiple LoginModule definitions, which are processed in order and according to the logic of the configuration Flag.

In your config file, separate the LoginModule definitions with a ; and be sure to select the appropriate Flag for the module, one of required, requisite, sufficient, or optional.

The full syntax and the description of how these Flags work is described in more detail under the JAAS Configuration Documentation.

Here is an example combining an LDAP module flagged as sufficient, and a flat file realm.properties config flagged as required:

multiauth {

  com.dtolabs.rundeck.jetty.jaas.JettyCachingLdapLoginModule sufficient
    debug="true"
    contextFactory="com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"
    providerUrl="ldap://server:389"
    bindDn="cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
    bindPassword="secrent"
    authenticationMethod="simple"
    forceBindingLogin="false"
    userBaseDn="ou=People,dc=test1,dc=example,dc=com"
    userRdnAttribute="uid"
    userIdAttribute="uid"
    userPasswordAttribute="userPassword"
    userObjectClass="account"
    roleBaseDn="ou=Groups,dc=test1,dc=example,dc=com"
    roleNameAttribute="cn"
    roleUsernameMemberAttribute="memberUid"
    roleMemberAttribute="memberUid"
    roleObjectClass="posixGroup"
    cacheDurationMillis="300000"
    reportStatistics="true";

  org.mortbay.jetty.plus.jaas.spi.PropertyFileLoginModule required
    debug="true"
    file="/etc/rundeck/realm.properties";
};

Based on the flags, JAAS would attempt the following for authentication:

1. Check username/pass against LDAP
2. If auth succeeds, finish with successful authentication
3. If auth fails, continue to the next module
4. Check username/pass against the properties file
5. If auth succeeds, finish with successful authentication
6. If auth fails, finish with failed authentication
