Manfred Baedke commented on OAK-8763:
-------------------------------------
[~angela],
Re test case: Any idea how to create one testing the whole login/logout
sequence without really creating an authenticated JMX connection are also
welcome. The task is to make AccessController#getContext() return an
AccessControlContext containing a given readonly subject.
> 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.
