             Summary: Creation of SecurityContext from JAAS Subject causes 
incorrect Principal for Kerberos authentication
                 Key: CXF-5126
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5126
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andrei Shakirin


CXF-4931 introduced functionality to create SecurityContext from JAAS Subject 
if it is available.
The problem is that in case of Kerberos authentication, STS validates client 
Kerberos ticket using own Kerberos account. In this case JAAS Subject will 
contain Principal from STS Kerberos account and ws-security Principal is client 
Kerberos Principal. SecurityContext must be initialized using client Kerberos 
Principal and not STS one.
Moreover, sometimes JAAS Subject contains more than one Principal and it is 
very difficult to decide which one should be selected.
Propose:
1. Check for Kerberos Principal and use ws-security Principal instead of JAAS 
Subject in this case.
2. Introduce property to switch-off using JAAS Subject Principal for 
SecurityContext.

Regards,
Andrei.
