[undertow-dev] "unauthenticatedIndentity" in Undertow

[Wolfgang Knauf]

Hi guys,

I try to sort out the "unauthenticatedIdentity" feature for JAS login 
modules in WildFly 8.
To my understanding, when logging in without username/password, the 
login module should fallback to this "unauthenticatedIndentity", which 
can only access public content (e.g. unsecured or @PermitAll ejb methods).

But without a login, my public ejb method shows that 
"this.sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName()" returns 
"anonymous", which is NOT the "unauthenticatedIdentity" value.
And "httpRequest.login(null, null)" will fail because of the Undertow 
implementation.

How can a switch to the user name declared in the "unauthenticatedIdentity"?

Same question e.g. here: https://community.jboss.org/thread/237899

Seems I have a basic misunderstanding about this ;-), but I don't find a 
clear explanation in the web...

Best regards
