<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I’m in the process of upgrading from IdP V2.4.1 to V3.1.2 and I want to remove all Xerces dependencies like described in the Security Advisory (<a href="https://shibboleth.net/community/advisories/secadv_20141103.txt">https://shibboleth.net/community/advisories/secadv_20141103.txt</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Therefore I added in the jboss-deployment-structure the following exclusion:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><exclusions><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36.0pt;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><module name="org.apache.xerces" /><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"></exclusions><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">To test it I changed the idp.xml.securityManager to org.apache.xerces.util.SecurityManager (in system/conf/global-system.xml). When I started the JBoss I got a ClassNotFoundException
for org.apache.xerces.util.SecurityManager, so I think xerces should be successfully removed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Afterwards I changed the securityManager back to com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.SecurityManager.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">When I started the JBoss again I got an ClassNotFoundException for com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.SecurityManager.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">After some research I found out that the JBoss doesn’t load all classes from rt.jar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Then I’ve added the package in the jboss-deployment-structure with:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><system><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">When I now start the server I get a class cast exception:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.SecurityManager cannot be cast to org.apache.xerces.util.SecurityManager</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I’ve already did a lot of research (amongst others</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:black">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Scott mentioned there “If you carry over a container that was endorsing Xeces/Xalan, then it would throw. If not, it won't.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">But I think I’ve excluded Xerces already…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Perhaps some of you already deployed the IdP without Xerces on the JBoss.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">What am I missing? Or has someone a hint what I can try or what I’m doing wrong?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Thanks a lot for your help!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
