--------------------------------
Summary: Allow authentication providers to resolve a realm
qualified user identity into a displayable name
Key: QPID-7168
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7168
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Java Broker
Reporter: Keith Wall
Extend the Authentication Provider interface to allow implementations to
resolve a realm qualified user identity into a human readable name. If the
authentication provider does not recognise the realm, it is not capable of
resolving names or the name is not known, the provider must return null.
Callers must be prepared to handle null.
Internally, providers may implement this method by calling out to the
authentication backend. Alternatively, the provider may maintain a cache of
names, populated as users authenticate. The provider should be prepared to be
queried many times for a user's name during the lifetime of Broker's execution,
so should take steps to avoid expensive processing, if necessary.
