[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (ELY-159) Discovery of available algorithms for credential types

[David Lloyd (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-159?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13041403#comment-13041403 ] 

David Lloyd commented on ELY-159:
---------------------------------

It would be nice if the realm didn't actually have to know about the mechanism though; if we could just tell it what transformation applies and allow it to use some kind of pre-written code to do it then we can avoid requiring that knowledge.

> The overall purpose of the getCredentialSupport calls is so that we can discover information about the supported credentials as authentication mechanisms are offered - the algorithm for the digest is just as important as knowing the general type.
> May just be a part of ELY-151 or may be something in addition.
