             Summary: Review realm attribute in Elytron authentication-configuration
                 Key: ELY-1053
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1053
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ondrej Lukas
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
            Priority: Critical


Is there any real scenario for usage of {{realm}} attribute in authentication-configuration? 

If server provides DIGEST-MD5 mechanism and client chooses it, then server provides name of realm which should be used for creating {{user:realm:password}} digest. It was the original reason which was provided to us. However it seems that reason for that attribute is currently different. What is the reason for attribute {{realm}} in authentication-configuration?

This information will be also needed for documentation.
