[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-6579) When JASPIC's register session is used, Subject not propagated to EJB

arjan tijms created WFLY-6579: --------------------------------- Summary: When JASPIC's register session is used, Subject not propagated to EJB Key: WFLY-6579 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-6579 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Security Affects Versions: 10.0.0.Final Reporter: arjan tijms Assignee: Darran Lofthouse When the JASPIC 1.1 register session ({{javax.servlet.http.registerSession}}) is used, the authenticated identity (via the Subject) is not propagated to the EJB container. The problems seems to be with {{JASPICAuthenticationMechanism.createAccount}}. When a cached account is re-used, a {{null}} is passed for the {{Subject}} parameter in the call to {{jbossSct.getUtil().createSubjectInfo}}. This will set indeed set a {{SubjectInfo}} with subject being null. {{EJBContext#getCallerPrincipal}} checks exactly this subject, and when seeing a null will consider the user to be unauthenticated, even when the caller is authenticated in the web layer. See the code below: {code:java} // SAM handled the same principal found in the cached account: indicates we must use the cached account. if (cachedAccount != null && cachedAccount.getPrincipal() == userPrincipal) { // populate the security context using the cached account data. jbossSct.getUtil().createSubjectInfo(userPrincipal, ((AccountImpl) cachedAccount).getCredential(), null); RoleGroup roleGroup = new SimpleRoleGroup(SecurityConstants.ROLES_IDENTIFIER); for (String role : cachedAccount.getRoles()) roleGroup.addRole(new SimpleRole(role)); jbossSct.getUtil().setRoles(roleGroup); return cachedAccount; } {code} Instead of passing a {{null}}, passing the existing subject as set by the JASPIC callback handler seems to work: {code:java} jbossSct.getUtil().createSubjectInfo(userPrincipal, ((AccountImpl) cachedAccount).getCredential(), jbossSct.getUtil().getSubject()); {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
