----------------------------------------
Summary: UserPrincipal lookup in the JAAS' BackingEngine
Key: KARAF-4496
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-4496
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Yurii Rashkovskii
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 4.1.0
I have a suggestion for improving org.apache.karaf.jaas.modules.BackingEngine
Currently, the only way to lookup an individual user (as far as I can tell) is
to iterate through the result of BackingEngine#listUsers() and find the
required user. This is fine if the number of users is reasonably low. However,
when JAAS infrastructure is used for public systems (say, a SaaS), it quickly
becomes a bottleneck.
I suggest adding something like `public UserPrincipal lookupUser(String name)`
to avoid this problem (also, it should return `null` if no such user found , or
throw an exception)
I am happy to contribute a PR promptly if this change will be approved.
Thoughts?
