---------------------------------
Summary: Add getPrincipal method to FunctionContext interface
Key: GEODE-8782
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8782
Project: Geode
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: core
Reporter: Jens Deppe
In some cases it would be very helpful to have access to the {{Principal}} when
executing a function.
It may seem obvious that if one has a reference to the {{cache}} that you could
get to the {{SecurityManager}} and extract the {{Subject}} and thus the
{{Principal}} from there. However, in some cases, Geode will seamlessly proxy a
function call from one server to the other. This will typically happen with
{{onRegion}} calls and partitioned regions. In such cases, the security context
is lost and thus the principal is not accessible.
