If the client wants to obtain the workflow context for a user previously authenticated by a JAAS application, you can use identity propagation as shown in the code sample below.

public IWorkflowContext getWorkflowContextForAuthenticatedUser() throws WorkflowException;

This API returns a workflow context for the authenticated user if the client configures the identity propagation for the appropriate client type. If the client type is remote, Enterprise JavaBeans identity propagation is used with this method. If the client type is SOAP, SAML token propagation is used with this method.
