I have a multi-threaded Java file server that runs on z/OS. A file requestor passes a userid and password and is authenticated using JAAS successfully creating a LogonContext. I would like the thread to run with the authority of the requestor when accessing the file and I am trying to using ThreadSubject.doAs() to do so. However, the thread continues to run with the authority of the job that created the JVM.
The job userid has read access to BPX.SERVER. LoginContext lc=authenticate(); ThreadSubject.doAs(lc.getSubject(), new PrivilegedAction<Object>() { public Object run() { try { //file access code here } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } }); Any idea where I've gone wrong, or what I've missed?
