Elytron provider not being used with credential store and SASL authentication on the Client Side ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: ELY-1976 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ELY-1976 Project: WildFly Elytron Issue Type: Bug Components: Authentication Client Reporter: Sonia Zaldana Assignee: Sonia Zaldana Priority: Major Fix For: 1.10.11.Final, 1.13.0.CR1 Trying to configure an ejb client with Sasl authentication using a credential store causes an "Invalid algorithm clear" error as follows: {code:java} Suppressed: javax.security.sasl.SaslException: ELY05053: Callback handler failed for unknown reason [Caused by java.io.IOException: ELY01030: Unable to read credential] at

</configuration> {code} The provider configuration in wildfly-config.xml is specified correctly: {code:java} <providers> <use-service-loader /> </providers> {code} The problem seems to be in PasswordFactory.getInstance() in KeyStoreCredentialStore where we aren't setting the providers we have configured. Instead, it seems to use INSTALLED_PROVIDERS which does not have the Elytron providers.
