Enhancement works, and I'm all for contribution. 

I'm on vacation next week, but I'm hoping to have a weekly Asterisk call 
set up for the following week. I'll post the info on the site, wiki and 
here as well once I iron it out. We can drill on the details there, and 
I'd say throw a design on the wiki if you've got something particular in 
mind.

Re: [equinox-dev] [sec] target EEs for JAAS integration work?



Hi Matt,

Thanks for comments.  A couple of follow ups.

Hmmm... Looks like CDC/Foundation does not include the 
javax.security.auth.* packages. I'm not sure if a JAAS implementation 
could be dropped on top of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could. 
JAAS is pretty thin. 

With respect to a LoginModule for 3.4, I expect we will develop several 
(or explain how to use those in a typical JRE). The default configuration 
will probably work with a standard format JKS/JCEKS stored in an 
appropriate place for the platform (workspace, etc). 

It would be good to make these login modules extensible (via extension 
point perhaps) so that other bundles (e.g. ECF) can hook into login 
process of an existing app that uses these login modules (e.g. Eclipse) 
and (e.g.) add principals and/or credentials to Subject during login or 
commit and prior to setReadOnly().  If you like, I can/could create an 
enhancement request for this...let me know.  I also could help with some 
of the programming for such a thing if desired.
