[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (REMJMX-41) Connection re-authentication options

Darran Lofthouse created REMJMX-41: -------------------------------------- Summary: Connection re-authentication options Key: REMJMX-41 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/REMJMX-41 Project: Remoting JMX Issue Type: Task Components: Connection, Security Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assignee: Darran Lofthouse At the moment this task is just to make a note of this for the future so we can review options some time for AS 7.2.x There are a couple of places where it is highlighted that a 1:1 relationship between the connection and the authenticated user is not as flexible as some would desire. A couple of examples are: - 1 - Clients wishing a single process to run with multiple threads, each representing a different user. 2 - Server to server comms where an additional authentication step may be needed. At the moment clients can open multiple connection but a massive benefit of Remoting is the option to re-use the same connection for multiple services. There are additional options such as adding a protocol specific authentication step within services to adding support for authentication on opening a channel to even some form of sub-connection support within a connection. Regardless I think we should start reviewing this from Remoting first as that is where there is the potential to solve it once for all services without duplicating a solution across multiple services. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
