Darran Lofthouse commented on ELY-159:
--------------------------------------
Along similar lines as the original description here the realm needs to have access to
some form of transformation utility for handling the transformation from one credential
type + algorithm to another - i.e. the realm implementations should be able to be
implemented with the bare minimum number of credential types supported - generally realms
should only need to know about the types they use for storage.
As an example if a realm supports ClearPassword storage and retrieval the realm
implementation should not now have the overhead of being able to convert to all credential
types and it should also not have the overhead of having to be able to understand what can
be translated to what. At the same time where we can a mechanism implementation should
just be using it's most specific password type implementation and all this
translation then happens at one central place.
Discovery of available algorithms for credential types

Key: ELY-159
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-159
Project: WildFly Elytron
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: API / SPI
Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
Fix For: 1.0.0.Alpha1
The overall purpose of the getCredentialSupport calls is so that we can discover
information about the supported credentials as authentication mechanisms are offered - the
algorithm for the digest is just as important as knowing the general type.
May just be a part of ELY-151 or may be something in addition.
