- All Implemented Interfaces:
- OperationStepHandler
public class WhoAmIOperation
extends Object
implements OperationStepHandler
The OperationStepHandler for the whoami operation.
The whoami operation allows for clients to request information about the currently authenticated user from the server, in
it's short form this will just return the username but in the verbose form this will also reveal the roles.
This operation is needed as there are various scenarios where the client is not directly involved in the authentication
process from the admin console leaving the web browser to authenticate to the more silent mechanisms such as Kerberos and
JBoss Local User.
