             Summary: ElytronAuthenticator.getPasswordAuthentication() cannot obtain PasswordFactory for Elytron algorithms
                 Key: ELY-1258
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1258
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ondrej Lukas
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
            Priority: Blocker


{{ElytronAuthenticator.getPasswordAuthentication()}} cannot obtain PasswordFactory for Elytron related algorithms. It is caused by missing WildFlyElytronProvider (since {{Security::getProviders}} is used for obtaining providers) for {{PasswordFactory.getInstance}} in [1].

It results to hidden NoSuchAlgorithmException with message _ELY08028: Invalid algorithm "clear"_ and stacktrace:
{code}
org.wildfly.security.password.PasswordFactory.getInstance(PasswordFactory.java:121)
org.wildfly.security.password.PasswordFactory.getInstance(PasswordFactory.java:75)
org.wildfly.security.auth.util.ElytronAuthenticator.getPasswordAuthentication(ElytronAuthenticator.java:92)
java.net.Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication(Authenticator.java:317)
...
{code}

It causes that even if element {{net-authenticator}} from Elytron client configuration file correctly sets ElytronAuthenticator as default Authenticator, it is not able to work with Elytron related algorithms which means it breaks feature from RFE7-567 - Client Side Security (Elytron Client) => we request blocker flag.
