[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (TEIID-863) Remove Trusted payload, credential map for authenticating connector sources

[Ramesh Reddy (JIRA)]

Ramesh Reddy resolved TEIID-863.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


Credential map based authentication at the connectors is removed. Now, if they need such mechanism, connectors can to define their own 'security-domain', however it is not clear as to how user can authenticate both Teiid level security-domain as well as connector level.  Also, need to investigate if JBoss supports the connection pools segregation based on logged in user.  Since this issue applies at the "data source", leaving this at the JBoss's current support on this feature.

Trusted Payload still exists in the current code, as it also used to send hints in the source level queries. However using this as the authentication payload is no longer valid.

> With TEEID-833 the engine will be deployed to a container and TEIID-199 implements the JAAS based authentication. In the container environment the security credentials are passed contextually to the working thread where they can be accessed.  So, the custom home grown solutions like trusted payload and credential mapping are no longer needed.  
> Make sure that "ConnectorContext" exposes the necessary information for the security.
