This pull request introduces a new boolean attribute, allowSsoReauthentication, to provide control over the SSO re-authentication behavior in the SSLAuthenticator.
Description
The changes include:
By defaulting to false, the existing secure behavior is maintained, while providing administrators the option to enable it when their security requirements permit.
Motivation
The SSLAuthenticator is designed to enforce a higher level of security by requiring client certificate authentication. As part of this, it currently prevents re-authentication from an existing Single
Sign-On (SSO) session that may have been established using a weaker authentication method (e.g., FORM or BASIC).
While this is a secure default, it is not currently configurable. There are use cases where an administrator may want to allow re-authentication from an SSO session, even if the original authentication
was weaker, to provide a more seamless user experience. This change introduces the necessary flexibility to support such scenarios.
