Manfred Baedke commented on OAK-8763:
-------------------------------------

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12985222/logout.png for an 
example of a preexisting readonly subject not featuring the principals and 
credentials it's supposed to hold (note that LoginModuleImpl#credentials holds 
ImpersonationCredentials not to be found in the subject.

> LoginContextProviderImpl uses any subject found in the AccessControlContext.

> 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.
