Keith Wall updated QPID-7198:
-----------------------------
Description:
The OAUTH2 and LDAP authentication providers should be changed to cache
authentication results for a short (configurable) period. If the same
authentication provider receives the same credentials again (i.e. matching
username and password in the case of LDAP), it should reuse the cached
authentication result. The cached authentication result should expire
automatically. Negative authentication results should be cached too.
This will serve to reduce load on authentication backends (such as
Directories). It will be especially useful when the REST API to used for
programmatically monitoring the Broker which otherwise may create an excessive
load on the backend.
The authentication provider must not retain the user passwords in clear. The
size of the cache should be constrained.
