[jira] [Commented] (OAK-91) Implement Authentication Support

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-91?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13467875#comment-13467875 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on OAK-91:
----------------------------------

Plugging in _non-JAAS_ authentication components was a bit complicated since the JAAS {{LoginContext}} is not an interface but a class whose constructor does some pretty tricky classloading magic that's hard to override when it's not needed.

To solve this issue, in revision 1393038 I replaced the {{LoginContext}} return value of the {{LoginContextProvider.getLoginContext()}} method with a new {{OakLoginContext}} interface that simply duplicates all the methods of the JAAS {{LoginContext}} class. A related {{JaasLoginContext}} class simply implements this new interface using the JAAS {{LoginContext}} as a base class, which keeps full compatibility with existing JAAS-based authentication components.
