Key: ELY-399
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-399
Project: WildFly Elytron
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: API / SPI
Reporter: David Lloyd
Assignee: David Lloyd
Fix For: 1.1.0.Beta4
The existing PeerIdentity APIs aren't working out, because the separation of the
PeerIdentity and its backing implementation introduces too much complexity while making it
too difficult for service providers to do anything with them.
Simplify the API so that PeerIdentity and PeerIdentityContext are (secure) abstract
classes which can be extended by providers, which can then use the API directly in a more
useful manner. Move responsibility for managing anonymous identities on to the subclass,
with the new default being "no identity in particular", which allows e.g. the
Remoting provider to default to the connection identity, while other providers can default
to the anonymous identity (if there is one).
