[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (ELY-193) Add more combinations to CredentialSupport

Add more combinations to CredentialSupport ------------------------------------------ Key: ELY-193 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-193 Project: WildFly Elytron Issue Type: Enhancement Components: API / SPI Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Fix For: 1.0.0.Alpha2 The current combinations mean that if a realm claims a credential type is obtainable the realm is also required to be able to validate that credential type. This leads to a couple of problems: - - Some types the realm is now forced to verify don't actually make sense, e.g. verify a DigestPassword just because it is obtainable when verifying one does not actually make sense. - We have no API for comparison of specialised credential types so the realm needs to understand how to compare them. So instead we need to relax the CredentialSupport options to allow a realm to return a type without actually being able to verify that type.
