[jira] [Created] (KARAF-2434) Add support for JAAS groups

David Bosschaert created KARAF-2434:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Add support for JAAS groups
                 Key: KARAF-2434
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-2434
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: karaf-core
            Reporter: David Bosschaert
             Fix For: 3.0.0


Add support for groups in JAAS security.
This makes it more manageable to define ACLs in terms of roles and also have high-privilege groups such as an AdminGroup that have many roles. It basically means that you don't have to add all these roles directly to the super-users but simply make them part of the group.

I have implemented this here: https://github.com/bosschaert/karaf/commit/6598f088c53aa5bce217cdc2e066a96f8f3d5d37 and would be happy to contribute this to the Karaf community.

Would also be more than happy to change things if needed.
