----------------------------------------
Hello Rob unfortunately your comment is a little late due to time constraints we need this
fixed and tagged yesterday ;-)
The change you have made is correct, you do not have any credentials to use so you should
not be setting them - I would recommend however you do revisit looking at supplying a
callback handler at some point as that gives you an opportunity to prompt for a username
and password if and only if it is actually required.
One final point you may want to consider, the main reason we made this change was so that
once access control was enabled and users had an option in the client to force
authentication to disable local authentication - I have now added an option
'org.jboss.remoting-jmx.excluded-sasl-mechanisms' which if set on the environment
with the value 'JBOSS-LOCAL-USER' will disable local authentication.
REMJMX-65 Overzealous disabling local authentication
----------------------------------------------------
Key: REMJMX-74
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/REMJMX-74
Project: Remoting JMX
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Connection
Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
Fix For: 1.1.2.CR1, 2.0.0.CR4
REMJMX-65 is overzealous at disabling local authentication, if a username and credential
is supplied in the environment then it does make sense to disable local authentication -
however the availability of a callback handler is not a sufficient flag to also disable
it.
In the case of the callback handler the user may still only want to be prompted if the
other mechanisms fail.
This issue will remove the disabling of local authentication based on the presence of a
callback handler and will instead add a configuration option that can be set on the
environment.
