Re: [wildfly-dev] WildFly Elytron - Credential Store - Next Stages

Hi Darran, looking at "Automation of Updates to the Store" in which CLI could be involved, I am listing potential issues if the CLI handles it: - it seems that the clear=>store+alias could be on a per operation basis. User could still want to not rely on credential store. So enabling globally the transformation would not work.

- Having an interactive workflow would not work well for scripts. - Introducing new headers dedicated to automatic conversion could work (they would have to be recognized and support implemented on server), although with multiple credential-references located in the same command, the syntax could become complex. After having played a bit with CLI+credential-references, I am thinking that defining a new attribute in the credential-reference (existing clear-text and store are alternatives, can't use both) to express that the user wants automatic storage would seem quite natural from CLI. Furthermore, it would work with CLI existing support for operations. Something like {clear-text=mypassword, update-store=mystore, alias=ALIAS} I would enforce that the update-store already exists. If that is possible in elytron subsystem, that would make for a simple CLI workflow.

We are at the stage where this development is likely to affect multiple areas of the application server, additionally we need to consider these requests as a set so we don't take a decision for one that prevents us working on the remainder. I have put together a blog post describing some of the general issues we want to look into: - http://darranl.blogspot.com/2018/09/wildfly-elytron-credential-store-next... Some of these changes will have an impact on any subsystem currently referencing the credential store. Other changes we will need to decide if the solution lies within WildFly Elytron, the management tier of the server, or the admin tools - or possibly a combination of all three. I am also going to share this link in the community forums to try and obtain some additional feedback from end users.
