Re: [equinox-dev] JAAS integration (security)


Scott,

Here's the IpZilla link: http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1549

I believe the code will end up in a security specific incubator where we will be hardening it and working on community requirements and feedback. The code should work on CDC/Foundation, the core security and JAAS APIs are a part of that runtime. These plug-ins are an optional add-on at this point, but that may change eventually as we try out tighter integration.

Hope that helps,

-matt
