Key: WFLY-486
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-486
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Remoting, Security
Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
Labels: authentication_service
Fix For: 9.0.0.Beta1
Where SASL is used for authentication users can request to authenticate as themselves but
to be authorized to connect to the server as a different user.
A couple of examples where this could be used: -
- A user granting access to another user to log into their account.
- A user with two levels of access e.g. normal and admin and requesting they have admin
level access.
Another area we are looking to use this feature is where one server connects to another
server but want to be able to run requests on the remote server using the identity of a
specified user.
This Jira issue is to enhance the security realms to allow for trust permissions to be
defined - initially this will be local to a single realm but will subsequently be opened
up to work across different realms.
