[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-2434) Elytron, log cause of LoginException during obraining ticket

Elytron, log cause of LoginException during obraining ticket ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: WFCORE-2434 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-2434 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Security Reporter: Martin Choma Assignee: David Lloyd Priority: Critical I get to situation where in method {{GSSCredentialSecurityFactory.createGSSCredential()}} the cause of LoginException is hide from user. In log there is {code:title=server.log} 14:26:07,751 TRACE [org.wildfly.security] (default task-1) java.security.GeneralSecurityException: ELY01121: Unable to perform initial JAAS login. {code} But with debugger I get to obvious cause {{javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: Bad JAAS configuration: credsType and keytab values are not compatible}}, but this is not logged into log. Setting to high priority, because logging useful information is esential for troubleshooting fragile Kerberos setup. Mesage {code:java|title=ElytronMessages} @Message(id = 1121, value = "Unable to perform initial JAAS login.") GeneralSecurityException unableToPerformInitialLogin(@Cause LoginException cause); {code} is created in {code:java|title=GSSCredentialSecurityFactory.java#L283} } catch (LoginException e) { throw log.unableToPerformInitialLogin(e); } {code} and logged into log by {code:java|title=ServerAuthenticationContext.java#L847} } catch (GeneralSecurityException e) { // skip this credential log.trace(e); } {code} An more importantly. Question here is if some global issue should follow up? Because problem is in usage of log.trace(e) where although cause exception is avalaible, effectivelly is called log.trace(e.toString()) and cause is hidden; So probably some global check should be performed in elytron codebase if other such occurences aren't also problematic.
