[Bug 60694] New: Potential NullPointerException in AuthenticatorBase.getJaspicProvider()

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60694

            Bug ID: 60694
           Summary: Potential NullPointerException in
                    AuthenticatorBase.getJaspicProvider()
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.5.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: awilkinson@pivotal.io
  Target Milestone: ----

AuthenticatorBase.getJaspicProvider() can throw a NullPointerException. The
code in question is:

AuthConfigFactory factory = AuthConfigFactory.getFactory();
provider = factory.getConfigProvider("HttpServlet", jaspicAppContextID, this);

The javadoc for AuthConfigFactory.getFactory() states that it returns:

The non-null system-wide AuthConfigFactory instance set at the time of the
call, or if that value was null, the value of the system-wide factory instance
established by this method. This method returns null when the  system-wide
factory was not defined when this method was called and no default factory name
was defined via the security property.

When it returns null, a NullPointerException occurs:

java.lang.NullPointerException: null

This was originally reported against Spring Boot using embedded Tomcat when the
user also had javax:javaee-api on the classpath.
