java.lang.Object
  org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory (src) 
      org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.naming.spi.InitialContextFactory, javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory

public class JndiLoginInitialContextFactory

extends NamingContextFactory (src)

A naming provider InitialContextFactory implementation that combines the authentication phase with the InitialContext creation. During the getInitialContext callback from the JNDI naming, layer security context identity is populated with the username obtained from the Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL env property and the credentials from the Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS env property. There is no actual authentication of this information. It is merely made available to the jboss transport layer for incorporation into subsequent invocations. Authentication and authorization will occur on the server.

                                       throws javax.naming.NamingException

Take the env Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL and Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS and propagate these to the SecurityAssociation principal and credential. If Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL is a java.security.Principal then it is used as is, otherwise its treated as a name using toString and a SimplePrincipal is created. The Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS is passed as is.
