---------------------------------------

Fair enough Andrew...sorry about this...but at *some* point I will retest on 2.8 and reopen if necessary. Cheers!

> I'm having a problem that I think I have tracked down to this change? Maybe it doesn't quite work as it was intended:
> From: Ver 2.5.26 change history
> * Minor enhancement to WikiSession now allows full use of non-JSPWiki
>         supplied JAAS LoginModules in the JSPWiki-custom configuration. Previously,
>         we considered a user to be authenticated only if a LoginModule had added
>         Role.AUTHENTICATED to the Subject's principal set. This is clearly
>         unreasonable for LoginModules that have no knowledge of JSPWiki, such
>         as Sun's supplied modules or third-party modules used for LDAP
>         authentication. Now, we consider a user authenticated if they are
>         not anonymous and not asserted, and we lazily add Role.AUTHENTICATED
>         in these cases, after login.
> I'm using container managed authentication, and JBoss LDAP authenticator module. The authentication itself is not working properly unless the user is also a member of role (ldap group) "Authenticated". I first came across this issue when running an earlier version of 2.5, probably after this change was made I'm not sure.
> I turned on security logging to diagnose what was going on, and authentication itself is succeeding but jspwiki then goes looking for the Authenticated role in the principals, and of course is not finding it.  Is it possible there is a race condition here....(esp as I notice the observed behavior is actually quite erratic once you hit the login button on jspwiki).  If the Role.AUTHENTICATED is being added 'lazily', I think it's not being added quickly enough?
