[javaee-security-spec users] programmatic authentication in JEE applications

Dear Expert Group members,

as I understand, there is no portable way for server-side programmatic
authentication , i.e. to

call a role-protected EJB from un-authenticated servercode, e.g. JEE 7
batches, timer beans, un-authenticated session beans or JMX beans.
(Weblogic Server provides a non-portable Programmatic Authentication
API [1])

Will Java EE Security API standardize this important feature?

Best regards,
Juergen Weber
