             Summary: Allow authorization identity to be specified as a Principal
                 Key: ELY-1080
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1080
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Authentication Client
            Reporter: David Lloyd
            Assignee: David Lloyd
             Fix For: 1.1.0.Beta37


The authorization identity is the identity that the user intends to run as.  By allowing the identity to be specified as a Principal, the anonymous identity can be given, which is a way of directly selecting anonymous authentication.  The existing methods which specify the authorization identity as a string can map to a NamePrincipal.  Mechanism selection can also take the authorization ID into account.

This also aligns with the run-as logic on the server.
