---------------------------------------
I am not following how BASIC could ever be better than DIGEST, capture a single network
packet from Basic authentication and you have the plain text password - same for Form
authentication.

Key: AS7-4646
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4646
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Console
Reporter: Jess Sightler
Assignee: Jason Greene
Labels: security
Many clients have security requirements that disallow HTTP Basic authentication. HTTP
Digest is also disallowed due to the requirement to store plaintext passwords on the
server. HTTP Form based authentication would provide a much smoother experience for users
and comply with client requirements.
