    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2583?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12793181#comment-12793181 ] 

Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-2583:
-------------------------------------

I believe this request was written wrong to begin with. 

What user is really looking for is to do proxy authentication on the connection to the data sources that Teiid talks to based on the authenticated subject, similar to reauth at data source level. See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBJCA-516 for re-auth support, it should be easy to write needed plugins for required JDBC drivers if they support proxy/re-auth configurations. The one thing I see limiting is, the re-auth plugin interface does not have signature to pass in the Subject in transit, just simple user name and password, that could be overly simple, when dealing with complex logins such as kerberos or custom tokens. Hopefully Subject can be retrieved from thread context, but requires a test to verify it.

The resolution on this still stands as indicated.
