-------------------------------------
Summary: Support JDK JAAS API migration
Key: KARAF-7977
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-7977
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Matt Pavlovich
The JDK JAAS API is undergoing transition to better support Virtual Threads by
removing APIs that utilize ThreadLocal.
Issue(s):
1. JDK 11 and 17 do not support the end-state APIs
2. Mixing JAAS APIs will break if users switch JDKs for the same Karaf and any
code that uses JAAS security APIs.
API combinations:
doAs() + AccessController <-- deprecated for removal
callAs() + Subject.current() <-- first available in JDK 18 (or JDK 21 LTS)
There is not a current solution to provide:
1. Seamless transition for Karaf users across JDKs, unless the starting
supported LTS version is JDK 21
2. Consistent JAAS API usage across Karaf
