Jan Kalina commented on ELY-252:
--------------------------------

This could be in theory implemented in ServerAuthenticationContext, as default value in NameCallback - but I dont think there are some SASL mechanims for which this would be useful - all mechs I remember have to obtain username from client by protocol and protocol does not allow server to provide default to the client...

> This is something we would need to be cautious about as it does risk revealing information to an attacker but after a files attempt we may have more information and be able to offer mechanisms based on this.
