The access control context is reserved for KRB5/JAAS especially. It is
used to force to use the context that generate the socket, rather than
the context of Krb5 (Note that Krb5Proxy in Krb5Helper is an static
final instance).

I would suggest to pass AccessControlContext instead of Handshaker
parameter if you only need the context.  As the one for client side, for
example:
KerberosClientKeyExchange.init(init(String serverName, boolean
isLoopback, AccessControlContext acc, ...)

Good.


Do you want to file a simple enhancement request (CCC)?

Why CCC? This is all internal.


. KerberosClientKeyExchangeImpl.java
------------------------------------
Do you want to check the return value to make sure it is non-null or
empty? Otherwise, it is possible to run into NPE when using the serverKeys.

188  KerberosKey[] serverKeys = AccessController.doPrivileged(

An IOException will be thrown if the principal is not matched. I think
we need to reserve the behavior.

If the returned serverKeys is empty (it won't be null), line 208 will return a null and line 213 will throw the IOE. Is that enough?


Is it possible to add a new test for the unbound krb5 in TLS?

It's already there. Note the "principal=*" in the updated SSL.java test. Maybe I can provide 2 test cases, one bound, one unbound.

Hi Xuelei

You might know that krb5 now supports unbound acceptor, which means if
you set "principal=*" in an acceptor's JAAS login config file, it can
serve as any service. The acceptor would read initiator's request, find
out what the intended service name is, and then find a key for it from
its keytab file.

Currently TLS's krb5 ciphersuites must know the service principal at the
beginning, it uses the info to read keys and then wait for incoming
requests. This must be changed if it also want to be "unbound".

I have a primitive patch here

     http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8005523/webrev.00

You can see it gets a ServiceCreds instead of KerberosKey at the
beginning. This ServiceCreds encapsulates keytabs and JAAS settings, and
it can be used to find keys for any service name later.

The fix is quite ugly. Especially, I make Handshaker public and pass it
to KerberosClientKeyExchangeImpl so that its context can be used to
check permissions. Is this necessary? I mean, is the context any
different from the one inside KerberosClientKeyExchangeImpl?
