jms transport: Support passing username of producer to SecurityContext
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CXF-2055
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2055
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Transports
    Affects Versions: 2.1.4
            Reporter: Christian Schneider
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.2


The HTTP transport sets a SecurityContext object in the message. This allows 
the server implementor to retrieve the user principal and its roles from the 
message. For JAX-WS the principal and roles are then also available in the 
WebServiceContext.

JMS vendors support retrieving the username of the prodcuer that sent a 
message. In the JMSDestination this information could be added to the message 
in a new SecurityContext object.  

Unfortunately there is no common standard for this. So we need to figure out 
how each vendor does this:
In Tibco you have to add the following line to queues.conf: > 
sender_name_enforced. This means that tibco should add the authenticated user 
name in the jms property JMS_TIBCO_SENDER to every message in every queue. 
In ActiveMq I have found from the documentation that you can use the option 
populateJMSXUserID. Then ActiveMQ sets the property JMSXUserID.
Perhaps we can find the necessary settings for other jms servers too like IBM 
MQ.

I would propose to simply check the possible locations where the usename could 
be set in the different providers. It is important though that we make sure the 
producer canĀ“t simply set the property we use by himself as this would defy any 
security.
