------------------------------------

             Summary: AJP connector with external authentication
                 Key: WFLY-2850
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2850
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Web (Undertow)
    Affects Versions: 8.0.0.CR1
            Reporter: Geert Coelmont
            Assignee: Stuart Douglas
            Priority: Critical


Tomcat allows to set the tomcatAuthentication attribute of the AJP connector to false to allow external web servers (e.g. apache httpd) to handle the authentication and pass that along.
A similar option was added recently to JBossWeb as well (see WFLY-254), but JBossWeb has been replaced by Undertow. With Undertow this option isn't available as far as I can see.
For me this is a critical problem as there is currently no way I can do negotiated (SPNEGO) authentication from within WildFly+Undertow. (See also WFLY-2404).
