Hi, Please find below a patch for:
RFR: 8169068: Add a new method: java.net.Authenticator.getDefault() https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8169068 The method implementation itself is trivial. The API documentation is derived from that of Authenticator::setDefault The method checks for the existing NetPermission("requestPasswordAuthentication") rather than introducing a new "getDefaultAuthenticator" permission, because getting the authenticator actually grants you the possibilty to request passwords - so it's better that the permission check makes it explicit. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8169068/webrev.00/ best regards, -- daniel
