> org.wildfly.security.auth.client.AuthenticationContext includes method {{AuthenticationContext with(AuthenticationContext other)}} which creates new AuthenticationContext which includes rules and configuration and SSL context of given AuthenticationContext other.
> However, in case when {{with}} method is used with index and another AuthenticationContext, then it includes only rules and configuration (SSL context is not used). There is also method {{withSsl}} which includes rules and SSL context, but no configuration.
> I see three problems here:
> * there is different behavior between {{with(AuthenticationContext other)}} and {{with(int idx, AuthenticationContext other)}} - first includes also SSL context
> * javadoc for with(AuthenticationContext other) does not describe that SSL context from given {{AuthenticationContext other}} is also used.
> * there is not able to include both configuration and SSL context into any AuthenticationContext on some position based on index
> I report this as critical because it is part of public API - it should stay backward compatible once it will be released.
