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

> Using a custom JAAS login module, we sometimes fail to obtain the authenticated subject from the 'javax.security.auth.Subject.container' policy context. This appear to be related to the worker threads. 
> See the reproduction steps below. When a wildfly instance attempts to authenticate 500 requests coming simultaneously, a bunch of them fail. If you configure wildfly to only use a single worker thread and a single task thread, this issue disappears.
> The issue is as follow:
> I login using HttpServletRequest#login.
> Right after that, login.getUserPrincipal return the correct principal.
> However, sometimes, PolicyContext.getContext("javax.security.auth.Subject.container") returns null. Right after the login.
> In our production app, PolicyContext.getContext("javax.security.auth.Subject.container") returns null during some EJB call, throwing random exceptions from various parts of the application.
