      org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitialContextFactory, ObjectFactory

public class JndiLoginInitialContextFactory
extends org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory

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.
