Error description
Third party security integration in Liberty server on z/OS. With this new feature, the ThreadIdentityService interface can now be implemented by Liberty embedders in their own features to receive notification of user identity switches.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty Profile * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Allow third party security integration * * for SyncToOSThread support. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An embedder of the WAS Liberty profile will be able to provide an implementation of the ThreadIdentityService interface. This will allow execution of third party security context services after authentication when the user's identity is asserted on the thread and then again when the thread's identity switches back to the server's ID in order to provide an audit trail or synchronize the security context for a third party environment. The existing Sync to OS Thread ThreadIdentityService implementation will be able to run alongside the one provided by an embedder. There will be no need to specify the com.ibm.websphere.security.SyncToOSThread variable in the deployment descriptor or the syncToOSThread attribute in server.xml for the third party ThreadIdentityService to be used, but it will be needed if SyncToOSThread support is also used. This support will require appSecurity-1.0 or higher in the feature list and will allow for multiple ThreadIdentityService implementations to co-exist. The classes implementing this service must be added to the OSGi service registry and listed as providers of the ThreadIdentityService interface type. With this new feature, the ThreadIdentityService interface can now be implemented by Liberty embedders in their own features. An embedder needs to provide an implementation of the com.ibm.wsspi.security.thread.ThreadIdentityService interface in their bundle. Once an embedder adds their feature to the server.xml and it is activated, their ThreadIdentityService implementation will be active. User features might be placed in ${wlp.user.dir}/extension/lib/features or in any other defined user feature location.
Problem conclusion
The code was modified to allow third party implementation of the com.ibm.wsspi.security.thread.ThreadIdentityService interface in order to receive notifications of thread identity switches. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.2.
