Manfred Baedke updated OAK-8763:
--------------------------------
Description:
LoginContextProviderImpl#getLoginContext(...) extracts the most recent subject
from the AccessControlContext and the uses it for either a PreAuthContext or a
JaasLoginContext. This is wrong, because there is no reason to assume that such
a subject has anything to do with Oak. It particularly hurts when it's
readonly, because JAAS will then silently fail to add principals and
credentials.
We would need a way to identify pre-authenticated subjects and subjects that
are not pre-authenticated should not be used to create a JaasLoginContext.
