Re: How to get Subject (user) from jaxrs context

[Sergey Beryozkin]

Thanks, yes, LoginSecurityContext has this method; it needs to be cast 
from the internal CXF SecurytContext, this can be obtained as follows:

SecurityContext sc = mc.get(SecurityContext.class);
Cheers, Sergey

You can cast the mc.getSecurityContext() to a LoginSecurityContext (if this
is applicable). This has a "getSubject()" method.

Hi,

We have a REST service impl class and just want to get the authentication
user info from the impl of one operation, it looks like:

public class FlowManagementServiceImpl implements FlowManagementService {
     @Context
private org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.ext.MessageContext mc;

     @GET
     @Path("/deploy/{flowName}/{flowVersion}")
     @Produces("text/plain")
     public Response deployFlow(@PathParam("flowName") String flowName,
             @PathParam("flowVersion") String flowVersion) {
     ......
     System.out.println("role: " +
mc.getSecurityContext().getUserPrincipal().getName());
     ......
}
}

Seems only the principlal name can be retrieved from MessageContext, how
to get the Subject (user) name from the operation? Thanks!
(CXF 2.7.10 used)

Thanks.
