Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2012-07-26 02:37:26 EDT

When using multi-user authentication provided by the "allow-multiple-users" option for the datasource's connection pool together with a security domain, the credentials provided as arguments to the getConnection(uid,pwd) function are ignored. This means that a valid connection will be returned for an invalid credential. 

This could also mean that, provided the correct subject, a datasource connection can be obtained that which might belong to a privileged user.

A fix for this issue is already available up-stream. The up-stream fix is located at [jira JBJCA-864].
