Re: [rundeck] Usage of Atlassian Crowd as the Authentication/Authorisation engine

[Greg Schueler]

Hi Bruno,

Currently Rundeck relies on the application container to do
authentication. The authentication we use with the default Jetty
container is JAAS authentication, which is implemented with a the
LoginModule interface. Here is some documentation on implementing a
JAAS LoginModule:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jaas/JAASLMDevGuide.html

For other containers, like Tomcat, you can use JAAS authentication as
well, or a custom Tomcat-specific Realm implementation. Here is the
link for Tomcat JAASRealm information:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/realm-howto.html#JAASRealm

So you may need to implement authentication to the Atlassian
athentication server if there is not a JAAS login module for it
already available

Hi Chengkai, in your logs there are numerous errors about the Mysql database.

If you are using Mysql or another relational database instead of the file-based default, make sure that your rundeck-config.properties has the "rdbsupport" set to true, as described here: http://rundeck.org/docs/administration/relational-database.html#enable-rdbsupport

[chengkai liang]

rundeck.v14.rdbsupport=true

This has been set to true in 1.4.3.
