             Summary: Unable to specify module when specifying custom JACC policy class.
                 Key: WFLY-5340
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5340
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 10.0.0.Beta2
            Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
             Fix For: 10.0.0.CR2


It is currently possible to specify the 'javax.security.jacc.policy.provider' system property, however it is not possible to specify a module.

>From the JACC specification: -

_For each JRE of a J2EE 1.4 or later version Java EE application server, if the 
system property 
“javax.security.jacc.policy.provider
” is defined, 
the application server must construct an 
instance of the class identified by the 
system property, confirm that the 
resulting object is an instance of 
java.security.Policy, 
and set, by calling the 
java.security.Policy.setPolicy
 method, the resulting object as the 
corresponding Policy object u
sed by the JRE. _

The specification only specifies that the system property references the class, it does not specify how.  

In it's simplest form we should assume this is just a class name, in a more complex form we should allow the module to be specified.
