--------------------------------------
Summary: Use default application/realm name of 'other' if none
specified
Key: FELIX-3984
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3984
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JAAS
Affects Versions: jaas-1.0.0
Reporter: Chetan Mehrotra
Assignee: Chetan Mehrotra
Priority: Minor
Any LoginModule registered via config or factory SHOULD provide a
realm/application name. However if none is specified then the realm name should
be assumed to be 'other'.
Following should be supported
1. In case no realm name specified via 'jaas.realmName' the value should be set
to 'other'
2. This default value can be changed by Admin via Configuration Spi settings
and set it to any other value
The significance of using 'other' here is that LoginContext would first check
config entry for provided applicationName. If none is found then it looks for
config entry for an app name 'other'. So for default setup LoginModules which
does not have any appname specified would be considered as part of 'other'. if
the admin changes that then no such default logic would be used
