I'm using Tomcat 8.5.4. I've got a JASPIC question When I call AuthConfigFactory#registerConfigProvider() if I pass null for the 3rd parameter (the appContext) there is no registration. The registrationID returned by calling registerConfigProvider() is null. And in testing I can verify the AuthModule code isn't running. I get different behavior with GlassFish and Payara. If I do the same with GlassFish or Payara, a null value for the 3rd parameter registers the AuthModule for ALL applications. I believe this is consistent with the JASPIC 1.1 spec which says:
appContext- A String value that may be used by a runtime to request a configuration object from this provider. A null value may be passed as an argument for this parameter, in which case the provider is registered for all configuration ids (at the indicated layers). So my question is, with Tomcat, what value can I pass for the 3rd parameter of the registerConfigProvider() method call (the appContext parameter) which will register the AuthModule for ALL applications? Or, is this not supported yet by Tomcat? Thanks!
