Jinmei Liao updated GEODE-2056: ------------------------------- Description: 2. I also think it is pertinent that the SecurityService interface [27] be in Geode's public API. Given this is just an interface, I am not sure why it was decided to make it "internal" anyway? I see no good reason NOT to expose this interface, especially since it would be particularly useful for both API/Framework (e.g. SDG) as well as tools developers developing extensions to Apache Geode. I actually did make use of the SecurityService interface [28] in SDG, despite my (usually) hard rule of NOT ever using any GemFire/Geode internal classes at all in SDG. Unfortunately, and all too often, in certain cases, such as the currently released version of Apache Geode, 1.0.0-incubating GA, there is simply no other way around it when providing support for securing Apache Geode, especially for making Apache Shiro first-class (something I want to similarly do for Spring Security). > Expose GeodeSecurityService as needed > ------------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-2056 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2056 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Jinmei Liao > > 2.
