> I think this is the final known gap in our credential acquisition and validation API/SPI.
> There are a couple of specifications that also allow for additional information to be used when obtaining a representation of a users credential, the most obvious being the session based variant of digest authentication where a nonce and cnonce are also incorporated.
> A second variant with two different modes of operation would be the realm associated with the digest credential, currently we assume it is tightly associated with the storage representation of the credential but it could also be the case that the mech is requesting it for a specific realm.

> When filtering authentication mechanisms we need to really be able to offer two modes: -
> 1 - Only offer a mech if we are sure it is supported.
> Risks only offering a weaker mechanism in a mixed domain but also eliminates mechanisms that could fail for a valid user that just happens to have a different credential type.
> 2- More general support.
> i.e. offer the mechs that may be supported.

[JBoss JIRA] (ELY-153) Support DigestCredential with a specified realm name

> This would imply the password is retrievable and the realm associated by the authentication mechanism.
> I see the following scenarios to be covered by this: -
> - Realm that does not store pre-hashed and so is open to the mechanism providing the realm name.
> - Realms where one or more realm names may be in use.
> - One identity with multiple credentials each with a different realm.
> - Different realms used for different identities but no more than one per identity.
> If this is accomplished using a CallbackHandler then there are couple of Callback options: -
> 1. getCredentialSupport on the realm, a RealmChoiceCallback can be used by a realm that advertises all the realm names it knows, where realm names are selected the response can take into account if all or some of the identities in that realm have a credential stored for that realm.
> 2. getCredentialSupport on the realm can also support RealmCallback, in this case the mechanism specifies one realm name.
> 3. These two can be repeated on the RealmIdentity, in that case however as a specific identity is being referenced the response can be much more specific.
> 4. On getCredential the Callbacks can both be supported but in both cases can allow the selection of a single realm.
> Another option could be an extension to RealmChoiceCallback that also indicates the level of support for each realm it contains.
> Whilst exploring this, being able to identify the message digest algorithm support level should also be considered in parallel.
> Also I see solving this as a simple pre-requisite for ELY-154

[JBoss JIRA] (ELY-54) Support for stronger hashes as alternatives to MD5

> Presently Digest authentication is based on MD5 - however we should either update the mechanism or add new mechanisms to support the use of stronger hashes.
> As this library is used both client and server side installations that require the stronger hashes can just ensure the client and server have the latest version of this library - installations that still require interaction with MD5 will need to ensure that it is still available as a mechanism.
