[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBAS-2283) Look into custom header based authentication

[Anil Saldhana (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2283?page=all ]

Anil Saldhana updated JBAS-2283:
--------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: JBossAS-4.0.5.GA
                   JBossAS-5.0.0.CR1
                       (was: JBossAS-5.0.1.CR1)

I have a HeaderAuthenticator that has cleared SiteMinder and RSA Cleartrust.  It will not take me time to make this into a generic header based authenticator.

> We have been getting requests for custom authentication methods based around prorpietary headers/logic. The following attachments describe the oracle COREid product.
> B19006.pdf - high level overview of how the product works
> B19008v2.pdf - details of authentication protocol (p. 85 - 92)
> B19013.pdf - documentation about API
> Likely the most important part is assuming a user is who the HTTP_OBLIX_UID header says they are. The COREid server and the firewall should protect the server from unauthorized access.
