The overall changes LGTM, I have a comment regarding termination on the expired API key.

I think this should be Authentication using apikey failed - api key is expired.
The reason this test passed is since we do not terminate authentication chain when encountered with expired API key.
I think we should terminate if expired API key is presented, no other realms should attempt to authenticate if we know that it has expired, wdyt?

I think @bizybot is correct - we probably need some of the failure cases in ApiKeyService.authenticateWithApiKeyIfPresent to have a terminate status instead of continue.
If I'm passing an API Key over TLS, then it would be very strange (and hard to debug) if the authentication use the API Key right up until it expired and then suddenly switched to PKI auth.
