Using realm 'ApplicationRealm' as discovered from the existing property files. Username : user_name * Error * WFLYDM0028: Username must be alphanumeric with the exception of the following accepted symbols (",", "-", ".", "/", "=", "@", "\") Username (user_name) : {noformat} We use basic authentification to restrict access to our applications, and expect usernames in the format {{<prefix>\_<suffix>}} with {{<prefix>}} being a sequence of plain letters (a-z), followed by an underscore ("\_") and a number as {{<suffix>}}. This is possible with WebSphere and even Tomcat, but actually not in Wildfly.
