Key: ELY-175
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-175
Project: WildFly Elytron
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: SASL
Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
Assignee: David Lloyd
Fix For: 1.0.0.Alpha3
One of the main reasons for having a getCredentialSupport API is so that we select
appropriate authentication mechanisms based on the credentials available to us or the
level of validation possible.
This should also consider advertising all variants of a mechanism or strongest only.
I will mention it here but we may want as a separate task some form of downgrade
detection as this could be a sign of a malicious MITM.
