[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-1635) Ensure security realms assign users to groups and not roles by default.

Darran Lofthouse created WFLY-1635: -------------------------------------- Summary: Ensure security realms assign users to groups and not roles by default. Key: WFLY-1635 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1635 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Task Components: Domain Management, Security Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Priority: Critical Fix For: 8.0.0.Alpha3 Currently we only use group/role assignment within the ApplicationRealm where there is an assumption of a 1:1 mapping between a group and a role. Instead by default the <authorization /> section of a <security-realm /> should be used to load group membership information. Within access control the group to role mapping will happen at a later point as it needs to take into account the address or an operation. For situations where a 1:1 mapping can be assumed we will add a configuration option on the <authorization /> element - 'map-groups-to-roles' default will be false. For backwards compatibility the ApplicationRealm we ship will have 'map-groups-to-roles' set to true. Where an older schema is read we will assume this attribute was set to true for consistency. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
