As a result the "silent auth" mechanism as explained "Local clients" section of this doc [1] comes into picture. The EJB client API by default has this mechanism enabled for connections it creates. Now the reason why you see that stacktrace which indicates a failure to create an auto connection to a node in the cluster is because the EJB client API implementation is missing this piece of configuration which enables "silent auth" for cluster nodes. We need to fix that to make it consistent with how we handle non-cluster node connection creation. [1] https://community.jboss.org/wiki/AS710Beta1-SecurityEnabledByDefault {quote}
