Make internal sling authentication publicly available
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-966
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-966
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Engine
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Currently the SlingAuthenticator is an internal class in the Engine bundle,
which is used by the SlingMainServlet to handle the authentication as part of
an OSGi HTTP Service specification HttpContext object.
To use the Sling authentication framework with the Authenticator and the
AuthenticationHandlers outside of the SlingMainServlet, that is for other
servlets directly registered with the OSGi HttpService the authentication
functionality should be made publicly available.
One approach would be to provide a new authenticate() method in the
Authenticator interface. Another option would be to provide an abstract
HttpContext which already implements the HttpContext.handleSecurity method
using the SlingAuthenticator instance.
