------------------------------------

             Summary: Add support for hashed usernames.
                 Key: ELY-638
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-638
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: API / SPI
            Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
             Fix For: 2.0.0.Alpha1


The latest HTTP Digest RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7616/ adds support for hashed usernames.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7616#page-12

Passing in this hash within the name field of IdentityLocator may be suitable for a realm to map - alternatively NameRewriters and RealmMappers may be needed to handle some of this, or IdentityLocator could be extended to add fields for hashed username and algorithm.  Or other options.

Have scheduled for Elytron 2 as this is a new optional part of the RFC.  It may turn out to be a feature of a mech never used but general support for an alternative form of a username like this sounds reasonable.
