> based on JCR 2355 we added a very simplistic way to indicate to the login module that the given credentials have
> been preauthenticated. as already stated in the original issue this poses a major security issue as it leaves the
> repository access untrusted.
> i would like to raise those security concern again and would therefore like to get rid of that hack in the long run.
> the suggested procedure:
> - deprecate the attribute (immediately)
> - log a warning if it is used (immediately)
> - document how to fix code that is currently relying on that attribute
> - remove support altogether for the next major release
