-----------------------------------
Hi Darren:
In JBossTools usecase, we do not have the callback handler classes on our classpath, and
so we can't provide a classpath. We're also pulling credentials from some data
that may not have been initialized by the user yet, so for us, we'd really prefer a
flag or environment property such as PREFER_LOCAL_AUTHENTICATION which works for all
cases, even if some credentials have been set.
Is this possible?
I admit I did just find a way to work around my issue (by not setting the credentials if
they're null) but I still think a flag to always prefer local auth is a valid
choice...
REMJMX-65 Overzealous disabling local authentication
----------------------------------------------------
Key: REMJMX-74
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/REMJMX-74
Project: Remoting JMX
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Connection
Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
Fix For: 1.1.2.CR1, 2.0.0.CR4
REMJMX-65 is overzealous at disabling local authentication, if a username and credential
is supplied in the environment then it does make sense to disable local authentication -
however the availability of a callback handler is not a sufficient flag to also disable
it.
In the case of the callback handler the user may still only want to be prompted if the
other mechanisms fail.
This issue will remove the disabling of local authentication based on the presence of a
callback handler and will instead add a configuration option that can be set on the
environment.
