Re: [wildfly-dev] Read Elytron security domain from Undertow's ApplicationSecurityDomainService

I have two topic branches prepared with the solution I think I can make use of for now. There is still quite a lot of work to do but this aligns with the current subsystems in WildFly. Later on and especially once we remove legacy security I would like the definition of the security policy to take place in earlier phases to collaboratively define the resulting security policy for the deployment so at the very latest before we enter Phase.INSTALL the policy is fully defined and can be used by all subsystems. For the Undertow and EJB subsystems I was able to achieve this during Phase.PARSE and Phase.POST_MODULE, however the web services DeploymentUnitProcessors add a new web meta data in Phase.INSTALL which needs to be taken into account. The two topic branches are: https://github.com/darranl/wildfly-core/tree/WFCORE-4962 https://github.com/darranl/wildfly/tree/WFLY-13319 Unless I run into any more testing issues I believe these are now complete. If the Elytron subsystem is installed the following will be attached to the DeploymentUnit at Phase.STRUCTURE 0x2300: https://github.com/darranl/wildfly-core/blob/WFCORE-4962/server/src/main/... Various DeploymentUnitProcessors interact with this metadata but if an Elytron SecurityDomain is selected for the web deployment the getSecurityDomain() method will return a ServiceName which can be used to add a dependency to obtain a reference to it. The latest the service name of the security domain will be set is Phase.INSTALL 0x1CFF. The ServiceName is not set as a result of any resolution within the EJB subsystem as a single deployment could contain EJBs in addition to web content. This metadata is also exclusively in relation to an Elytron SecurityDomain so it not set for a legacy SecurityDomain. Any subsystem wishing to use the resolved security domain can either install a DeploymentUnitProcessor after Phase.INSTALL 0x1CFF, or they can cache a reference to the SecurityMetaData instance and retrieve the ServiceName at a later point. I am going to perform some more all tests runs locally with some different permutations before I submit the PRs but I have been running into some issues with the EJBInvocationStatisticsTestCase which I see is currently being worked on so just waiting for that test to be more stable as it keeps affecting my local builds. Other than that I believe I do have all tests passing, including a new test I added to test identity propagation into the EJB container when using MicroProfile JWT. Regards, Darran Lofthouse.
