                 Key: AS7-5901
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5901
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: EJB, Remoting, Security
            Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
             Fix For: 7.2.0.Alpha1


This task is a top level task to coordinate the addition of support for switching to different security identities on an existing connection over Remoting.  

This is to predominantly cover two major scenarios: -
 - Clients using a single connection but require different calls to be executed as different users, in this case the client has the information required to start a new authentication as a different user.
 - Server to server communication where the first server has already authenticated a remote user - for this scenario the first server needs a way to tell the second server what identity to run the call as.

The following document is building up the requirements and design considerations and decisions: -
