Alexander Klimetschek updated OAK-3899:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
The {{TokenLoginModule}} and specifically [TokenProviderImpl only look at 
SimpleCredentials.getUserID()|https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/trunk/oak-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/security/authentication/token/TokenProviderImpl.java#L165]
 when creating a token.

However, in certain situations, such as with the ExternalLoginModule and 
non-username/password credentials, the SimpleCredentials are used but don't 
have a user id as the real user id is determined not by the caller of 
{{Repository.login()}}, but by the external identity provider (and the 
credentials might not include any kind of user id, say an opaque token from an 
external service). In this case, {{getUserID()}} returns null and the token 
implementation fails to create a token and return it in the {{.token}} 
attribute of the credentials.

Instead, the TokenLoginModule should look at the shared 
{{javax.security.auth.login.name}} attribute, which can de-facto override a 
{{SimpleCredentials.getUserID()}}, as it happens in the ExternalLoginModule.
