---------------------------------

             Summary: FirstRealmAuthenticator
                 Key: SHIRO-642
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-642
             Project: Shiro
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Authentication (log-in)
            Reporter: Vidar Vevik
            Priority: Minor


I noticed that Shiro was having different functionalities when between one and 
many realms in use. I used time to dig into this and it resulted in a 
suggestion for a new Shiro class with name FirstRealmAuthenticator.

My suggestion for FirstRealmAuthenticator is that it is equal to 
ModularRealmAuthenticator except that when it finds first realm that is used 
for token it will handle it in the same way as it was the only realm and skip 
all other realms. The benefit of this is speed and similarity. 

Here is example code for method doMultiRealmAuthentication:



{{      protected AuthenticationInfo 
doMultiRealmAuthentication(Collection<Realm> realms, AuthenticationToken token) 
{

                AuthenticationStrategy strategy = getAuthenticationStrategy();
                AuthenticationInfo aggregate = 
strategy.beforeAllAttempts(realms, token);

                if (log.isTraceEnabled()) {
                        log.trace("Iterating through {} realms for PAM 
authentication", realms.size());
                }

                for (Realm realm : realms) {
                        aggregate = strategy.beforeAttempt(realm, token, 
aggregate);

                        if (realm.supports(token)) {
                                log.trace("Attempting to authenticate token 
[{}] using realm [{}]", token, realm);

                                AuthenticationInfo info = 
realm.getAuthenticationInfo(token);
                                aggregate = strategy.afterAttempt(realm, token, 
info, aggregate, null);
                                break;
                        } else {
                                log.debug("Realm [{}] does not support token 
{}.  Skipping realm.", realm, token);
                        }
                }

                aggregate = strategy.afterAllAttempts(token, aggregate);

                return aggregate;
        }
}}
