[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-4218) Additional optimisation for SASL / JAAS integration when non-JAAS realm used for authentication

Darran Lofthouse created AS7-4218: ------------------------------------- Summary: Additional optimisation for SASL / JAAS integration when non-JAAS realm used for authentication Key: AS7-4218 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4218 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Task Components: Domain Management, Remoting, Security Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Priority: Critical Fix For: 7.1.2.Final The JAAS based authentication and related caching makes an assumption that a username and password is available for the authentication process - where a user has already been authenticated using a SASL mechanisms this is most likely not the case e.g. Digest, Kerberos... To bridge this gap we create a fake username and password before the JAAS call - this task is to optimise that so that if a connection is held open the same generated username and password should be used so that any cached value can be used without triggering a JAAS auth for each call. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
