[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-677) Repeated login (after session invalidation) with different credentials results in incorrect role set. LOGIN MODULES ARE BEING REUSED

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-677?page=all ]

David Jencks updated GERONIMO-677:
----------------------------------

        Summary: Repeated login (after session invalidation) with different credentials results in incorrect role set. LOGIN MODULES ARE BEING REUSED  (was: Repeated login (after session invalidation) with different credentials results in incorrect role set.)
    Fix Version: 1.0-M4
       Priority: Blocker  (was: Critical)

If Kevins analysis is correct, login modules are being reused.  This is a very serious problem that must be fixed for M4.

> Consider we have two users, "user" with role "user" and "manager" with role "manager" and two secured areas /user/* and /manager/*, so only "user"'s can access pages with URL /user/* and only "manager"'s can access pages with URL /manager/*.
> If we log in as "user", we can access only /user/* pages, "403 Forbidden" if we try to access /manager/* pages. It is OK. 
> Now, if we clean the session (request.getSession().invalidate()), we will be logged out, so we cannot access nor /user/*, nor /manager/* pages - server redirects to the login page. It is OK.
> But if we login second time, as a "manager", we can access both page sets - /user/* and /manager/*! It means that authenticated user owns both roles "user" and "manager", but this is impossible combination!
