> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jackrabbit-core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha11
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Fix For: 2.0-alpha12

> Attachments: JCR-2355.patch

>
> Some applications authenticate users themselves and just need to access the
> repository on behalf of these pre-authenticated users.
> Examples of such pre-authentications include SSO solutions or web
> applications using a web-based authentication protocol not easily
> implementable in a JAAS LoginModule, for example OpenID or similar.
> In such situations a password may not be provided in SimpleCredentials and
> thus regular login with user name and password is not possible.
> Therefore I propose the enhancement of the AbstractLoginModule to allow for
> setting a specific attribute in the SimpleCredentials attribute map. If this
> attribute is set, authentication and login succeeds and a session for the
> user named in the SimpleCredentials is created.
> As a starter we might just check for the presence of the attribute.
