> No portable way for auth module to ask the container to create a container authentication session
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: JASPIC_SPEC-3
> URL: http://java.net/jira/browse/JASPIC_SPEC-3
> Project: jaspic-spec
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: monzillo
> Assignee: monzillo
>
> The spi is optimized for the case where the auth module is responsible for
> creating and managing authentication sessions internally and separate from
> Servlet's HttpSession machinery.
> Still there are repeated requests for this enhancement. The RI provides this
> functionality via an undocumented messageInfo flag; which when set by an auth
> module, instructs the Glassfish container to "register" and authentication
> session.
> The enhancement request is to standardize a portable means for an auth module
> to cause the encompassing container to create an authentication and to bind it
> to the response. This might be done by a flag, or by a new Callback handler, or
> perhaps by another mechanism.
