Kerberos and Active Directory - where does the Active Directory Server name get set?

Total Kerberos and Active Directory newb here trying to get a very small sample working.
Found a Java Active Directory JAAS example onLine and here is the code.
import javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext;
import javax.security.auth.login.LoginException;
public class ActiveDirectoryValidator
{
private static final String USERNAME = "FOO";
private static final String PASSWORD = "BAR";
private ActiveDirectoryValidator()
{
}
public boolean validateUser(String userName, String password)
{
try
{
LoginContext lc = null;
ADCallbackHandler ch = new ADCallbackHandler();
ch.setUserId(userName);
ch.setPassword(password);
lc = new LoginContext("JaasConfig", ch);
lc.login();
return true;
}
catch (LoginException le)
{
System.err.println("Authentication failed:");
System.err.println(" " + le.getMessage());
return false;
}
catch (NullPointerException e)
{
System.err.println("Authentication failed:");
System.err.println(" " + e.getMessage());
return false;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
ActiveDirectoryValidator validateUser = new ActiveDirectoryValidator();
if (validateUser.validateUser(USERNAME, PASSWORD))
{
System.out.print("Authentication Successful");
}
else
{
System.out.print("Authentication Failed");
}
}
}
and
import javax.security.auth.callback.*;
import java.io.IOException;
public class ADCallbackHandler implements CallbackHandler
{
private String ADUserId;
private char[] ADPassword;
public void handle(Callback[] callbacks) throws java.io.IOException, UnsupportedCallbackException
{
for (int i = 0; i < callbacks.length; i++)
{
if (callbacks[i] instanceof NameCallback)
{
NameCallback cb = (NameCallback)callbacks[i];
cb.setName(ADUserId);
}
else if (callbacks[i] instanceof PasswordCallback)
{
PasswordCallback cb = (PasswordCallback)callbacks[i];
cb.setPassword(ADPassword);
}
else
{
throw new UnsupportedCallbackException(callbacks[i]);
}
}
}
public void setUserId(String userid)
{
ADUserId = userid;
}
public void setPassword(String password)
{
ADPassword = new char[password.length()];
password.getChars(0, ADPassword.length, ADPassword, 0);
}
}
Where does the Active Directory Server name go?
I would not expect it to be in the jaas.conf file as I have seen other programs set it via the UI interface and the jaas.conf file never changes.
What am I missing?
Is this example showing something totally different?

Moved my test to a Linux machine and ultimately found 2 missing components.
1 - when executing, I needed to include the
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=mylocation/jaas.conf
2 - I needed to edit the following file to include my Active Directory information
/etc/krb5.conf
After making the necessary references and entries, it worked.

Unable to run string related functions using rJava (JRI) in Java

I have written a small program in Java (eclipse) to run R using JRI (rjava). All paths are set. The problem is that while I can run numeric functions (like add), I can't run a string function like cat. (please excuse any errors; I did Java coding for the first time yesterday).
package com.trial.ss;
import org.rosuda.JRI.Rengine;
public class RScriptConnection {
public Rengine getRScriptEngine() throws Exception {
Rengine engine = null;
try {
engine = Rengine.getMainEngine();
if (engine == null) engine = new Rengine(new String[] {
"--vanilla"
},
false, null);
/* if (!engine.waitForR()) {
System.out.println("Unable to load R");
return null;
} else*/
System.out.println("Connected to R");
String rScriptSourceFile = "source('" + RScriptConstant.RS_FILE_LOCATION + "',verbose=TRUE)";
engine.eval(rScriptSourceFile);
System.out.println("loading RScript file || completed");
//return engine;
} catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Exeption while connecting to REngine " + ex.getMessage());
//throw new Exception("Error while creating REngine in RScriptConnection:getRScriptEngine()");
}
return engine;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String libpath = System.getProperty("java.library.path");
System.out.println("##############libpath=" + libpath);
// System.out.println("Method to be called in RScript=" + "Add(x1 = " + 10 + ", x2 = " + 20 + ", x3 = " + 30 + ", x4 = " + 50 + ")");
RScriptConnection rScriptConnection = new RScriptConnection();
try {
Rengine rEngine = rScriptConnection.getRScriptEngine();
String Value1 = "\"Advisory\"";
String Value2 = "\"Assurance\"";
double svalue = rEngine.eval("(1+2)").asDouble();
System.out.println("mvalue=" + svalue);
System.out.println("method to be called in RScript is " + "cat(" + Value1 + "," + Value2 + ")");
String value = rEngine.eval("cat(" + Value1 + "," + Value2 + ")").asString();
System.out.println(value);
rEngine.end();
} catch(Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Please help me understand why my string function like cat doesn't work.
Here is the output I am currently getting:
##############libpath=C:\Users\myname\Documents\R\win-library\3.3\rJava\jri\x64
Connected to R
loading RScript file || completed
mvalue=3.0
method to be called in RScript is cat("Advisory","Assurance")
null
Why am I getting null in the end? I should get Advisory Assurance

Bellow is an example of how to show R output into Java. You basically have to implement RMainLoopCallbacks.
import org.rosuda.JRI.RMainLoopCallbacks;
import org.rosuda.JRI.Rengine;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
public class Runner {
private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Runner");
static class LoggingConsole implements RMainLoopCallbacks {
private Logger log;
LoggingConsole(Logger log) {
this.log = log;
}
public void rWriteConsole(Rengine re, String text, int oType) {
log.info(String.format("rWriteConsole: %s", text));
}
public void rBusy(Rengine re, int which) {
log.info(String.format("rBusy: %s", which));
}
public void rShowMessage(Rengine re, String message) {
log.info(String.format("rShowMessage: %s", message));
}
public String rReadConsole(Rengine re, String prompt, int addToHistory) {
return null;
}
public String rChooseFile(Rengine re, int newFile) {
return null;
}
public void rFlushConsole(Rengine re) {
}
public void rLoadHistory(Rengine re, String filename) {
}
public void rSaveHistory(Rengine re, String filename) {
}
}
Rengine engine = new Rengine(new String[] {"--no-save"}, false, new LoggingConsole(log));
...
// Use the engine somewhere to evaluate a R method and see the output
engine.eval(rScriptSourceFile);
}

How to add second activity in Amazon SWF hello_sample example

I've successfully implemented the simple Java Amazon SWF example called hello_sample. I created the ActivityWorker executable that polls SWF for activity tasks to process. I created the WorkflowWorker executable that polls SWF for decision tasks and I have a WorkflowStarter executable that kicks off the workflow execution. It works as advertised. What I don't understand is how do I configure and add a second activity to run after the first activity?
WorkflowWorker:
public class WorkflowWorker {
private static final AmazonSimpleWorkflow swf = AmazonSimpleWorkflowClientBuilder.defaultClient();
public static void main(String[] args) {
PollForDecisionTaskRequest task_request =
new PollForDecisionTaskRequest()
.withDomain(Constants.DOMAIN)
.withTaskList(new TaskList().withName(Constants.TASKLIST));
while (true) {
System.out.println(
"WorkflowWorker is polling for a decision task from the tasklist '" +
Constants.TASKLIST + "' in the domain '" +
Constants.DOMAIN + "'.");
DecisionTask task = swf.pollForDecisionTask(task_request);
String taskToken = task.getTaskToken();
if (taskToken != null) {
try {
executeDecisionTask(taskToken, task.getEvents());
}
catch (Throwable th) {
th.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
private static void executeDecisionTask(String taskToken, List<HistoryEvent> events) throws Throwable {
List<Decision> decisions = new ArrayList<Decision>();
String workflow_input = null;
int scheduled_activities = 0;
int open_activities = 0;
boolean activity_completed = false;
String result = null;
System.out.println("WorkflowWorker is executing the decision task for the history events: [");
for (HistoryEvent event : events) {
System.out.println(" " + event);
switch(event.getEventType()) {
case "WorkflowExecutionStarted":
workflow_input = event.getWorkflowExecutionStartedEventAttributes().getInput();
break;
case "ActivityTaskScheduled":
scheduled_activities++;
break;
case "ScheduleActivityTaskFailed":
scheduled_activities--;
break;
case "ActivityTaskStarted":
scheduled_activities--;
open_activities++;
break;
case "ActivityTaskCompleted":
open_activities--;
activity_completed = true;
result = event.getActivityTaskCompletedEventAttributes().getResult();
break;
case "ActivityTaskFailed":
open_activities--;
break;
case "ActivityTaskTimedOut":
open_activities--;
break;
}
}
System.out.println("]");
if (activity_completed) {
decisions.add(
new Decision()
.withDecisionType(DecisionType.CompleteWorkflowExecution)
.withCompleteWorkflowExecutionDecisionAttributes(
new CompleteWorkflowExecutionDecisionAttributes()
.withResult(result)));
}
else {
if (open_activities == 0 && scheduled_activities == 0) {
ScheduleActivityTaskDecisionAttributes attrs =
new ScheduleActivityTaskDecisionAttributes()
.withActivityType(new ActivityType()
.withName(Constants.ACTIVITY)
.withVersion(Constants.ACTIVITY_VERSION))
.withActivityId(UUID.randomUUID().toString())
.withInput(workflow_input);
decisions.add(
new Decision()
.withDecisionType(DecisionType.ScheduleActivityTask)
.withScheduleActivityTaskDecisionAttributes(attrs));
}
else {
// an instance of HelloActivity is already scheduled or running. Do nothing, another
// task will be scheduled once the activity completes, fails or times out
}
}
System.out.println("WorkflowWorker is exiting the decision task with the decisions " + decisions);
swf.respondDecisionTaskCompleted(
new RespondDecisionTaskCompletedRequest()
.withTaskToken(taskToken)
.withDecisions(decisions));
}
}
ActivityWorker:
public class ActivityWorker {
private static final AmazonSimpleWorkflow swf = AmazonSimpleWorkflowClientBuilder.defaultClient();
private static CountDownLatch waitForTermination = new CountDownLatch(1);
private static volatile boolean terminate = false;
private static String executeActivityTask(String g_species) throws Throwable {
String s = " ******** Hello, " + g_species + "!";
System.out.println(s);
String cwd = Paths.get(".").toAbsolutePath().normalize().toString();
String filename = "g_species.txt";
Path filePath = Paths.get(cwd, filename);
String filePathName = filePath.toString();
BufferedWriter output = null;
try {
File file = new File (filePathName);
output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
output.write(g_species);
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
if (output != null) {
output.close();
}
}
return g_species;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
terminate = true;
System.out.println("ActivityWorker is waiting for the current poll request to return before shutting down.");
waitForTermination.await(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
// ignore
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
});
try {
pollAndExecute();
}
finally {
waitForTermination.countDown();
}
}
public static void pollAndExecute() {
while (!terminate) {
System.out.println("ActivityWorker is polling for an activity task from the tasklist '"
+ Constants.TASKLIST + "' in the domain '" + Constants.DOMAIN + "'.");
ActivityTask task = swf.pollForActivityTask(new PollForActivityTaskRequest()

.withTaskList(new TaskList().withName(Constants.TASKLIST)));
String taskToken = task.getTaskToken();
if (taskToken != null) {
String result = null;
Throwable error = null;
try {
System.out.println("ActivityWorker is executing the activity task with input '" + task.getInput() + "'.");
result = executeActivityTask(task.getInput());
}
catch (Throwable th) {
error = th;
}
if (error == null) {
System.out.println("The activity task succeeded with result '" + result + "'.");
swf.respondActivityTaskCompleted(
new RespondActivityTaskCompletedRequest()
.withTaskToken(taskToken)

new RespondActivityTaskFailedRequest()
.withTaskToken(taskToken)
.withReason(error.getClass().getSimpleName())
.withDetails(error.getMessage()));
}
}
}
}
}
WorkflowStarter that kicks it all off:
public class WorkflowStarter {
private static final AmazonSimpleWorkflow swf = AmazonSimpleWorkflowClientBuilder.defaultClient();
public static final String WORKFLOW_EXECUTION = "HelloWorldWorkflowExecution";
public static void main(String[] args) {
String workflow_input = "Amazon SWF";
if (args.length > 0) {
workflow_input = args[0];
}
System.out.println("Starting the workflow execution '" + WORKFLOW_EXECUTION +
"' with input '" + workflow_input + "'.");
WorkflowType wf_type = new WorkflowType()
.withName(Constants.WORKFLOW)
.withVersion(Constants.WORKFLOW_VERSION);
Run run = swf.startWorkflowExecution(new StartWorkflowExecutionRequest()
.withDomain(Constants.DOMAIN)
.withWorkflowType(wf_type)
.withWorkflowId(WORKFLOW_EXECUTION)
.withInput(workflow_input)
.withExecutionStartToCloseTimeout("90"));
System.out.println("Workflow execution started with the run id '" +
run.getRunId() + "'.");
}
}

I would recommend to not reinvent the wheel and use the AWS Flow Framework for Java that is officially supported by Amazon. It already implements all the low level details and allows you to focus on a business logic of your workflow directly.
Here is an example worklow that uses three activities (taken from the developer guide).
Activities interface:
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.annotations.Activities;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.annotations.ActivityRegistrationOptions;
#ActivityRegistrationOptions(defaultTaskScheduleToStartTimeoutSeconds = 300,
defaultTaskStartToCloseTimeoutSeconds = 10)
#Activities(version="1.0")
public interface GreeterActivities {
public String getName();
public String getGreeting(String name);
public void say(String what);
}
Activities implementation:
public class GreeterActivitiesImpl implements GreeterActivities {
#Override
public String getName() {
return "World";
}
#Override
public String getGreeting(String name) {
return "Hello " + name;
}
#Override
public void say(String what) {
System.out.println(what);
}
}
Workflow interface:
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.annotations.Execute;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.annotations.Workflow;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.annotations.WorkflowRegistrationOptions;
#Workflow
#WorkflowRegistrationOptions(defaultExecutionStartToCloseTimeoutSeconds = 3600)
public interface GreeterWorkflow {
#Execute(version = "1.0")
public void greet();
}
Workflow implementation:
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.core.Promise;
public class GreeterWorkflowImpl implements GreeterWorkflow {
private GreeterActivitiesClient operations = new GreeterActivitiesClientImpl();
public void greet() {
Promise<String> name = operations.getName();
Promise<String> greeting = operations.getGreeting(name);
operations.say(greeting);
}
}
The worker that hosts both of them. Obviously it can be broken into separate activity and workflow workers:
import com.amazonaws.ClientConfiguration;
import com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.auth.BasicAWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.AmazonSimpleWorkflow;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.ActivityWorker;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.WorkflowWorker;
public class GreeterWorker {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ClientConfiguration config = new ClientConfiguration().withSocketTimeout(70*1000);
String swfAccessId = System.getenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
String swfSecretKey = System.getenv("AWS_SECRET_KEY");
AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials(swfAccessId, swfSecretKey);
AmazonSimpleWorkflow service = new AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient(awsCredentials, config);
service.setEndpoint("https://swf.us-east-1.amazonaws.com");
String domain = "helloWorldWalkthrough";
String taskListToPoll = "HelloWorldList";
ActivityWorker aw = new ActivityWorker(service, domain, taskListToPoll);
aw.addActivitiesImplementation(new GreeterActivitiesImpl());
aw.start();
WorkflowWorker wfw = new WorkflowWorker(service, domain, taskListToPoll);
wfw.addWorkflowImplementationType(GreeterWorkflowImpl.class);
wfw.start();
}
}
The workflow starter:
import com.amazonaws.ClientConfiguration;
import com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.auth.BasicAWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.AmazonSimpleWorkflow;
import com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient;
public class GreeterMain {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ClientConfiguration config = new ClientConfiguration().withSocketTimeout(70*1000);
String swfAccessId = System.getenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
String swfSecretKey = System.getenv("AWS_SECRET_KEY");
AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials(swfAccessId, swfSecretKey);
AmazonSimpleWorkflow service = new AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient(awsCredentials, config);
service.setEndpoint("https://swf.us-east-1.amazonaws.com");
String domain = "helloWorldWalkthrough";
GreeterWorkflowClientExternalFactory factory = new GreeterWorkflowClientExternalFactoryImpl(service, domain);
GreeterWorkflowClientExternal greeter = factory.getClient("someID");
greeter.greet();
}
}

Return output from completed command using RootTools

I'm trying to retrieve the output of commandOutput in order to pass it to another function, but commandCompleted is never ran. Any help?
Command command = new Command(0, "cat " + file){
private String output;
#Override
public void commandCompleted(int id, int exitCode) {
Log.d("Commands.Completed", output);
Log.d("Commands.Completed", "ID: " + id + " & exitCode: " + exitCode);
saveData(output);
}
#Override
public void commandOutput(int id, String line) {
output += line + "\n";
}
#Override
public void commandTerminated(int id, String reason) {
}
};
try {
RootTools.getShell(true).add(command);
} catch (IOException | RootDeniedException | TimeoutException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Your commandCompleted(int id, int exitCode) implementation is missing
super.commandCompleted(id, exitCode);
could it be the problem?
If you imported RootTools as
import com.stericson.RootTools.*;
you could also be using RootTools.Log which is muted by default. Maybe try to use
android.util.Log.d("Commands.Completed", output);
just to exclude the case.

asynccallback failures

In my app I need to add string vallues to the file(.property file, if it is important). and user enter this values in gwt GUI. Here is it's important part:
final Button submit = new Button("Submit");
addButton(submit);
submit.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener<ButtonEvent>() {
#Override
public void componentSelected(ButtonEvent ce) {
keyWord.selectAll();
regexp.selectAll();
if (keyWord.getValue() != null){
setKeyWord(customerId, keyWord.getValue());
keyWord.setValue("");
}
if (regexp.getValue() != null){
setRegExp(customerId, regexp.getValue());
regexp.setValue("");
}
}
});
}
private void setKeyWord(final String customerId, final String keyword){
final AsyncCallback<String> callbackItems = new AsyncCallback<String>() {
public void onFailure(final Throwable caught) {
Window.alert("unable to add " + caught.toString());
}
public void onSuccess(final String x) {
Window.alert(x);
}
};
serverManagementSvc.setKeyWords(customerId, keyword, callbackItems);
}
private void setRegExp(final String customerId, final String regexp){
final AsyncCallback<String> calbackItems = new AsyncCallback<String>() {
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable throwable) {
Window.alert("unable to add " + throwable.toString());
}
#Override
public void onSuccess(String s) {
Window.alert(s);
}
};
serverManagementSvc.setRegExp(customerId, regexp, calbackItems);
}
So I need to use Asunccallback to call methods which are in the "server part".
here are these methods:
//adds a new keyword to customers properties
public String setKeyWords(String customer, String word){
try{
PropertiesConfiguration props = new PropertiesConfiguration("/home/mikhail/bzrrep/DLP/DLPServer/src/main/resources/rules.properties");
String newKeyWord = new String(props.getString("users." + customer + ".keywords" + "," + word));
props.setProperty("users." + customer + ".keywords", newKeyWord);
props.save();
}catch (ConfigurationException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "keyword " + word + " added";
}
// adds a new regexp to customer properties
public String setRegExp(String customer, String regexp){
try {
PropertiesConfiguration props = new PropertiesConfiguration("/home/mikhail/bzrrep/DLP/DLPServer/src/main/resources/rules.properties");
String newRegValue = new String(props.getString("users." + customer + ".regexps" + "," + regexp));
props.setProperty("users." + customer + ".regexps", newRegValue);
props.save();
} catch (ConfigurationException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "regexp " + regexp + " added to " + customer + "'s config";
}
all interfaces are present.
when I run my code And press "submit" button in gui I see that both asynccallback failured(Window.alert, as you can see, shows "null pointer exception" despite of the fact that values which I send to methods are not null). why can it be? can you suggest me something?
UPD here is error which is shown by firebug:
uncaught exception: java.lang.ClassCastException
function W8(){try{null.a()}catch(a){return a}}

the problem is solved: there were a simple mistake in the code. I've closed brackets at the wrong place:
//adds a new keyword to customers properties
public String setKeyWords(String customer, String word){
try{
PropertiesConfiguration props = new PropertiesConfiguration("/home/mikhail/bzrrep/DLP/DLPServer/src/main/resources/rules.properties");
String newKeyWord = new String(props.getString("users." + customer + ".keywords") + "," + word);
props.setProperty("users." + customer + ".keywords", newKeyWord);
props.save();
}catch (ConfigurationException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "keyword " + word + " added";
}
// adds a new regexp to customer properties
public String setRegExp(String customer, String regexp){
try {
PropertiesConfiguration props = new PropertiesConfiguration("/home/mikhail/bzrrep/DLP/DLPServer/src/main/resources/rules.properties");
String newRegValue = new String(props.getString("users." + customer + ".regexps") + "," + regexp);
props.setProperty("users." + customer + ".regexps", newRegValue);
props.save();
} catch (ConfigurationException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return "regexp " + regexp + " added to " + customer + "'s config";
}

I recommend that you recompile the GWT code using
-style PRETTY
and then check that firebug output again; it may give you a better clue, compared to your updated uncaught exception.
Next, I suggest you run it in the eclipse debugger, and set breakpoints in both the client and server code, and then you can inspect the variables and step through the code.
