Bug ID: 55479
Summary: JSR 196 (JASPIC) support in Tomcat
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: trunk
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: simonmpilking...@gmail.com
"The Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers (JASPIC)
specification defines a service provider interface (SPI) by which
authentication providers that implement message authentication mechanisms may
be integrated in client or server message processing containers or runtimes."
Providing JASPIC support within Tomcat will reduce the amount of work required
to provide authentication for multiple authentication mechanisms and provide
better consistency and portability across different Tomcat-based projects.
Currently JASPIC has support within Geronimo and utilising this seems like the
quickest way forward to providing support within Tomcat itself.
I am interested in contributing code for this feature based on some existing
work already done in this area. I am also emailing the developers' list.
