I think the ServerAuthModule implementations in the org.jboss.as.web.security.jaspi.modules package are ready for use (handle the HTTP BASIC, FORM and CLIENT-CERT authentication).

 

                   

 

Do you mean by that that in an upcomming version of JBoss AS, those will indeed become the default and thus explicitly configuring org.jboss.as.web.security.jaspi.WebJASPIAuthenticator won't be needed anymore?

 

In the version shipping with 7.1.1 there are some rather severe bugs btw, like a NPE if a Subject has no roles (a fix is already committed:
