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

             Summary: Provide option to use  Configuration SPI in JAAS authentication when running within AppServer
                 Key: OAK-2051
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-2051
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
            Reporter: Chetan Mehrotra
            Assignee: Chetan Mehrotra
             Fix For: 1.1


LoginContextProviderImpl currently obtains JAAS configuration directly from the Configuration class. This works fine where the JAAS config is provided in std form like through file. This also works fine with Felix JAAS [1] where Felix JAAS is configured to replace the default configuration and thats ok when running in standalone env.

However Felix JAAS also supports a SPI mode to fetch configuration which would allow running in App server env where the application server is also making use of JAAS. 

Oak should provide an option to make use of the SPI mode when running in App Server  env so as to isolate the Oak's use of JAAS logic from App Server's usage
