Allow authorization identity to be specified as a Principal ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: ELY-1080 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1080 Project: WildFly Elytron Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Authentication Client Reporter: David Lloyd Assignee: David Lloyd Fix For: 1.1.0.Beta37 The authorization identity is the identity that the user intends to run as. By allowing the identity to be specified as a Principal, the anonymous identity can be given, which is a way of directly selecting anonymous authentication. The existing methods which specify the authorization identity as a string can map to a NamePrincipal. Mechanism selection can also take the authorization ID into account. This also aligns with the run-as logic on the server.
