# `javax.ejb.AccessLocalException`: Client Not Authorized Error

## Description

Role-mapping information is available in Sun-specific XML (for example, `sun-ejb-jar.xml`), and authentication is okay, but the following error message is displayed:

    [...INFO|sun-appserver-pe8.0|javax.enterprise.system.container.ejb|...|
    javax.ejb.AccessLocalException: Client not authorized for this invocation.
    at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.preInvoke(BaseContainer.java:...
    at com.sun.ejb.containers.EJBObjectInvocationHandler.invoke(...)

## Solution

Check whether the EJB module (`.jar`) or web module (`.war`) is packaged in an application (`.ear`) and does not have role-mapping information in application level, Sun-specific, `sun-application.xml`. For any application (`.ear`), security role-mapping information must be specified in `sun-application.xml`. It is acceptable to have both module-level XML and application-level XML.
