Angela Schreiber commented on OAK-8763:
---------------------------------------
[~baedke], i am not convinced that replacing a read-only subject by a new,
writable one is really correct.... what's the reason behind this? your patch
doesn't come with a test case illustrating what you intend to fix with your
patch.
as far as anonymous login is concerned: login with null credentials is _not_ an
anonymous login (see specification). anonymous login is achieved with
{{GuestCredentials}}.
> LoginContextProviderImpl uses any subject found in the AccessControlContext.

> LoginContextProviderImpl#getLoginContext(...) extracts the most recent
> subject from the AccessControlContext and then uses it for either a
> PreAuthContext or a JaasLoginContext. This is wrong, because there is no
> reason to assume that such a subject has anything to do with Oak. It
> particularly hurts when it's readonly, because JAAS will then silently fail
> to add principals and credentials.
> We would need a way to identify pre-authenticated subjects and subjects that
> are not pre-authenticated should not be used to create a JaasLoginContext.
