Allow for the client to retry username/passwords in callback handlers
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-2992
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2992
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen


Is there a way to get the security layer to retry an auth if auth fail and only give up if a certain option is set ?

Usecase is that we get the auth challenge, if we already have the username/password we give that back and in normal case that just works and everything is fine.

In the case where the username/password is not correct we right now end up with an SASLException and need to redo the whole thing again :)

Is there a way or could there be a way to make the system keep trying the auth until the user gives up (i.e. press Cancel) or we reach some maximum level of retries ?

This would simplify the code a lot as far as I can see since no need to implement "retry" logic in our workflow then.
