Oct 1, 2025Month 2025-10 — Jakarta Security 4.0 Authentication Framework with Multi-Mechanism Support delivered for OpenLiberty/open-liberty. Implemented cross-version support for multiple HttpAuthenticationMechanisms (Jakarta Security 1/2/3.0 and 4.0), introduced HttpAuthenticationMechanismHandlerService in AuthModule, and wired runtime resolution via OSGi to CDI-based implementations (built-in or application-provided). Added internal HAM handler with @Alternative to comply with spec when multiple handlers exist. This work provides a flexible, secure authentication foundation that supports both built-in and application-defined handlers, enabling smoother migrations and reduced integration risk.
