Bug #: 4675
Summary: No portable way for auth module to ask the container
to create a container authentication session
Classification: Unclassified
Product: jaspic-spec
Version: 1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: source
AssignedTo: monzillo_at_java.net
ReportedBy: monzillo_at_java.net
CC: issues_at_jaspic-spec.java.net
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.
