[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-1598) Conversion of Elytron SecurityIdentity to Subject for communication with older hosts.

[Darran Lofthouse (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-1598?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13354566#comment-13354566 ] 

Darran Lofthouse commented on WFCORE-1598:
------------------------------------------

This issue is solved using an alternative solution within WFCORE-2228, instead of converting to a Subject and marhaling the SecurityIdentity and InetAddress of the client are sent but using the existing protocol - this way older hosts will still be able to understand the protocol and create their own representations.

> In the domain hierarchy clients trust the server they communicate with so this server currently sends a serialized representation of the Subject containing information about the user initiating the request.
> For Elytron we will use the new identity propagation features however for older slaves we will need to convert to a Subject representation.
