             Summary: Add more combinations to CredentialSupport
                 Key: ELY-193
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-193
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: API / SPI
            Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
             Fix For: 1.0.0.Alpha2


The current combinations mean that if a realm claims a credential type is obtainable the realm is also required to be able to validate that credential type.

This leads to a couple of problems: -
 - Some types the realm is now forced to verify don't actually make sense, e.g. verify a DigestPassword just because it is obtainable when verifying one does not actually make sense.
 - We have no API for comparison of specialised credential types so the realm needs to understand how to compare them.

So instead we need to relax the CredentialSupport options to allow a realm to return a type without actually being able to verify that type.
