Remote/Local lookup with user authentication should work in the same way ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: WFLY-1173 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1173 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Feature Request Components: EE, Security Environment: Testing on windows Reporter: Fernando Rubbo Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Labels: local_interface, lookup Fix For: 10.0.0.Final I'm opening this issue because nobody was able to answer my question in the discussions section. So, I strongly believe this is an issue of the JBoss 7. Let's to the issue: ctx.getCallerPrincipal() should work in the same way, no matter if it was a remote or a local lookup.
