    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2952?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12945485#comment-12945485 ] 

Josef Cacek commented on WFLY-2952:
-----------------------------------

It would be also nice, if user can specify full configuration in the profile configuration (e.g. using CLI) without requiring external file.

For now, we use this extension for some FIPS 140-2 related testing: https://github.com/kwart/jboss-as-security-providers-extension

> The big advantage of this is that the configuration file can be added to the app server installation, the configuration can then reference it relative to a known location within the app server installation.
> This will be the first step to move on from requiring the configuration to be global at the JVM level.
> Note: Dependencies may be an issue unless we can work out a way for services that depend on a specific provider to set the dependency.
