Corey Puffalt commented on WFLY-959:
------------------------------------
So is that pretty much exactly as I described or are you saying there will now be two sets of credentials? One set for establishing the connection (corresponding to the current remoting management realm) and a second set for sub-system/application credentials which can be switched without connecting/re-connecting? Is the new design documented somewhere?

> Project: WildFly
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
> Components: EJB
> Reporter: Derek Horton
> Assignee: David Lloyd

> My confusion is around the remoting/security-realm setup in the use case
> where multiple EJBs are deployed that use different security-domains and
> the EJBs will be invoked by remote standalone clients. For example,
> ejbX needs to be in the sec-domain-X security-domain, while ejbY needs to
> be in the sec-domain-Y security-domain.
> In this situation, the authentication checks are going to be handled by
> the security-realm that is associated with the remote connector that is
> configured to be used by the EJB subsystem.
> It looks like the security-realm can either handle the authentication
> checks directly (properties file, ldap, etc) or it can defer to the
> jaas security-domain. In both of those situations, it seems that the
> EJBs are limited to a single authentication point. The EJB
> authentication is either going to be handled by a single security-realm
> or the security-realm will defer to a single security-domain.
> I could configure the security-domain to have multiple login modules. I
> assume the same thing could be done with the security-realm.
> Basically the problem that I am trying to solve boils down to this: the
> authentication checks for remote EJBs appear to be checked by either a
> single security-realm or a single security-domain. Is there a way to
> change this?
> One idea I had was to add another remote connector to the EJB subsystem.
> Unfortunately, this does not appear to be possible.
