I am presently working on WFLY-14735 and related issues. in short this issue is adding FORM authentication to the HTTP management interface so we can move away from the browser handling the authentication.

For more information please see the following initial draft of analysis:
    https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-proposals/pull/507

The analysis will be expanded further based on discussions but for now please feel free to provide any feedback, questions or comments either on this mail thread or as a comment on the analysis PR.
