------------------------------------
Summary: Provide option to use Configuration SPI in JAAS
authentication when running within AppServer
Key: OAK-2051
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-2051
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: security
Reporter: Chetan Mehrotra
Assignee: Chetan Mehrotra
Fix For: 1.1
LoginContextProviderImpl currently obtains JAAS configuration directly from the
Configuration class. This works fine where the JAAS config is provided in std
form like through file. This also works fine with Felix JAAS [1] where Felix
JAAS is configured to replace the default configuration and thats ok when
running in standalone env.
However Felix JAAS also supports a SPI mode to fetch configuration which would
allow running in App server env where the application server is also making use
of JAAS.
Oak should provide an option to make use of the SPI mode when running in App
Server env so as to isolate the Oak's use of JAAS logic from App Server's usage
