[jira] Created: (SHINDIG-675) Security token does not expose the authentication mechanism used to generate it

Security token does not expose the authentication mechanism used to generate it
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SHINDIG-675
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-675
             Project: Shindig
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: RESTful API (Java)
            Reporter: Louis Ryan
            Assignee: Louis Ryan


The security token interface does not expose the method of authentication used to generate it. Containers will likely have ACL policies that vary by the authentication mode.

[jira] Commented: (SHINDIG-675) Security token does not expose the authentication mechanism used to generate it

Kevin Brown commented on SHINDIG-675:
-------------------------------------

That's intentional. There are an infinite number of ways to expose the authentication mechanism.

It seems more likely that we need a generic way of extending the SecurityToken. I still believe strongly in a method like:

String getProperty(String name)

on the SecurityToken interface. These issues keep coming up and the solutions proposed for dealing with it range from annoying to incomprehensible. Why not just add a property bag?
