[DOC RFE] Client / Server Security Context Propagation for Remoting and Running As a given user

XMLWordPrintable

      Provide ability to
      a) Propagate security context from client to the server for remoting calls including EJBs.
      b) Run remote Server components within the security context of a given user.

      Assume the following invocation sequence:

      client invocation as "Bob" -> EJB A on server 1 -> EJB B on server 2

      server 2 will "trust" the invocation from server 1 is being made under the user "Bob", and his permissions, and that server 1 has already authenticated Bob

      Additionally their will be an API for the client application to dynamically switch users over the same underlying connection.

      The feature will be a generic remoting capability available to all remoting based protocols, however users will only interact with it using EJB and remote JNDI invocation.

      For more please see the related RFE: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/PRODMGT-1060
