Jeff Genender closed GERONIMO-1012:
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
This works fine. It probably could have been done in another Valve (like the
policy conetxt valve), but this is a reasonable solution as well. Thanks.

> Project: Geronimo
> Type: Bug
> Components: Tomcat
> Versions: 1.0-M5
> Reporter: David Jencks

> Fix For: 1.0-M5
>
> In the jetty integration, in SecurityContextBeforeAfter, a request for an
> unsecured page results in the default subject being set in the ContextManager
> (line 288). This provides a way to call secured ejbs and also provides a
> source for credentials for calling secured web services.
> In tomcat, we don't do anything like that: in particular there is no source
> of credentials for secured web services.
> I think the simplest solution is to, if the app is secured, to add another
> valve after the standard tomcat security valve, that sets the default subject
> into the ContextManager if none is there already.
