[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of Security on JBoss] - Re: SecurityContext

[anil.saldhana@jboss.com]

I have been thinking about the run-as scenarios. It will not be difficult to define the various semantics of this - in-vm or an explicit trust association (via transport, saml assertion or custom).

One implementation issue I have is how will the client proxy pick up the caller security context that includes any deployment level trust settings without using some kind of a threadlocal stack (one level will be sufficient), just like the current SecurityAssociation stacks. This is really important for inter-vm calls. Some kind of an injection semantics will suffice, but I am not aware of any such setup within JBoss. Any possible ideas here?
