Keith Wall updated QPID-7168:
-----------------------------
Fix Version/s: qpid-java-6.1
> Allow authentication providers to resolve a realm qualified user identity
> into a displayable name
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-7168
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7168
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Java Broker
> Reporter: Keith Wall
> Fix For: qpid-java-6.1
>
>
> Extend the Authentication Provider interface to allow implementations to
> resolve a realm qualified user identity into a human readable name. If the
> authentication provider does not recognise the realm, it is not capable of
> resolving names or the name is not known, the provider must return null.
> Callers must be prepared to handle null.
> Internally, providers may implement this method by calling out to the
> authentication backend. Alternatively, the provider may maintain a cache of
> names, populated as users authenticate. The provider should be prepared to
> be queried many times for a user's name during the lifetime of Broker's
> execution, so should take steps to avoid expensive processing, if necessary.
