> We are using remote EJB calls and are finding role information being lost.
> I have traced this to our use of JAAS authentication for the ApplicationRealm security realm
> Within the handle() method of JaasCallbackHander it stores the current Security context at that point (via securityManager.push())
> It then calls securityManager.authenticate() which results in login modules being called.  We use the ClientLoginModule which stores information on the SecurityContext via SecurityAssociationActions.setPrincipalInfo
> After authentication the JaasCallbackHandler calls securityManager.pop() which resets the SecurityContext back its state before authentication - thus losing the context set in the ClientLoginModule.
> This only occurs via a remote ejb call, not via a call made from the web tier (as it does not use JaasLoginHandler)
> Ideally I'd like some way to stop the JaasCallbackHandler reseting the SecurityContext (even if it was incredibly simple by checking for an attribute on the current security context)
> The same operations work in EAP 6.3 / JBoss 7.2
