[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-8997) @RunAsIdentity should cause authentication part to be skipped

@RunAsIdentity should cause authentication part to be skipped ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-8997 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-8997 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Security Affects Versions: 11.0.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Jörg Bäsner Assignee: Yeray Borges The issue [WFLY-140|https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-140] introduced a change in behavior. Before this change, the SecurityContextInterceptor would just invoke the push() method on SimpleSecurityManager and that method would internally create a new security context and authenticate the incoming principal if needed. In that implementation the presence of a RunAsIdentity would cause authentication part to be skipped. With the changes in the above issue, the security context establishment and the authentication parts were separated and while push() still checks for a RunAsIdentity, the authenticate() implementation does not, which ends up triggering the authentication process even if a RunAsIdentity is available. There is another check in place to avoid authentication if a valid authenticated subject already exists and the security domains match but this should also be the case if the security domains do not match.
