             Summary: Legacy Kerberos in management, unable to configure fallback authentication.
                 Key: WFLY-7993
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-7993
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Security
            Reporter: Martin Choma
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
            Priority: Blocker

In EAP 7.0 there was possible to configure fallback (e.g. BASIC) authentication, if client does not support SPNEGO authentication. In EAP 7.1 this feature does not work anymore.

In EAP 7.0 server returns multiple chalanges (Negotiate/Basic) and client could choose which he will use.

In EAP 7.1 (with same configuration) server returns only one chalange - Negotiate so client not supporting SPNEGO, can't fallback to Basic.
