Both authentication and authorization will hit the underlying security
repository (e.g. files, LDAP, etc.). For example, creating a JMS
connection and a consumer will result in 2 hits with the *same*
authentication request. This can cause unwanted (and unnecessary)
resource utilization, especially in the case of networked configuration
like LDAP.
There is already a rudimentary cache for authorization, but it is
cleared *totally* every 10 seconds by default (controlled via the
security-invalidation-interval setting), and it must be populated
initially which still results in duplicate auth requests.
This commit optimizes authentication and authorization via the following
changes:
- Replace our home-grown cache with Google Guava's cache. This provides
simple caching with both time-based and size-based LRU eviction. See more
at https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/CachesExplained. I also thought
about using Caffeine, but we already have a dependency on Guava and the
cache implementions look to be negligibly different for this use-case.
- Add caching for authentication. Both successful and unsuccessful
authentication attempts will be cached to spare the underlying security
repository as much as possible. Authenticated Subjects will be cached
and re-used whenever possible.
- Authorization will used Subjects cached during authentication. If the
required Subject is not in the cache it will be fetched from the
underlying security repo.
- Caching can be disabled by setting the security-invalidation-interval
to 0.
- Cache sizes are configurable.
- Management operations exist to inspect cache sizes at runtime.
Active Directory servers are unable to handle referrals automatically.
This causes a PartialResultException to be thrown if a referral is
encountered beneath the base search DN, even if the LDAPLoginModule is
set to ignore referrals.
This option may be set to 'true' to ignore these exceptions, allowing
login to proceed with the query results received before the exception
was encountered.
Note: there are no tests for this change as I could not reproduce the
issue with the ApacheDS test server. The issue is specific to directory
servers that don't support the ManageDsaIT control such as Active
Directory.

delegate to the jdk saslServer. Allow acceptor configuration of supported mechanismis; saslMechanisms=<a,b>
and allow login config scope for krb5 to be configured via saslLoginConfigScope=x
This feature required a bit of refactoring to the plugin interface itself as
well as a restriction on the configuration so that either only one plugin could
be specified or an ulimited number of security-setting matches. This was done
to prevent messy situations where a plugin could update settings from the XML
or even another plugin if there were overlapping matches.
