Hi All

Code changes at

    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/7089889/webrev.00/

KrbAsReqBuilder maintains a state enforcement: at the beginning it's 
INIT, after doing an AS-REQ it's OK, and we used to only allow getKeys() 
to be called when the state is OK. Now if an acceptor has 
isInitiator=false, the OK state will never be reached. In most cases, an 
acceptor uses a keytab so getKeys() is not called. However, if it uses 
username/password (most likely in a peer-to-peer case and the acceptor 
chooses not to login), getKeys() is needed and an exception is thrown.

This code change makes getKeys() callable at both INIT and OK states. In 
order to do this, the checkState() method now accepts varargs.

I'll backport this to 7u2, and since 7u2 is now in phase 2, I think I 
need at least 2 reviewers.

Thanks
Max

*Change Request ID*: 7089889

*Synopsis*: Krb5LoginModule.login() throws an exception if used without 
a keytab


=== *Description* 
============================================================
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The call to LoginContext.login() fails with an exception if the 
LoginContext is configured to use Krb5LoginModule with the following 
options:

storeKey="true"
useKeyTab="false"
isInitiator="false"

This appears to be a regression due to an attempt to solve bug '6941083'.

The following source code is taken from 
Kb5LoginModule.attemptAuthentication(false):

if (ktab == null) {
         promptForPass(getPasswdFromSharedState);
         builder = new KrbAsReqBuilder(principal, password);
         if (isInitiator) {
                 // XXX Even if isInitiator=false, it might be
                 // better to do an AS-REQ so that keys can be
                 // updated with PA info
                 cred = builder.action().getCreds();
         }
         if (storeKey) {
                 encKeys = builder.getKeys();
                 // When encKeys is empty, the login actually fails.
                 // For compatibility, exception is thrown in commit().
         }
}

This code path results builder.getGeys() being called while the 
builder's state is 'INIT'.
The builder asserts via checkState() that the state is REQ_OK, hence an 
exception.

This is a regression, as JRE6 and prior versions called 
EncryptionKey.acquireSecretKeys()
to obtain the keys in this case.

REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 6u26

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See the executable test case below. Program should be run on a Windows 
machine that is joined to a domain. Replace 'REALM', 'KDC', 
'DOMAIN_USER' and 'DOMAIN_USER_PWD' as appropriate before running

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
"Login succeeded" printed to console
ACTUAL -
"Login failed" printed to console.
Exception stacktrace printed to strerr
