             Summary: Support clients that provide an optional CallbackHandler
                 Key: ELY-1029
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-1029
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Authentication Client
            Reporter: Darran Lofthouse
            Assignee: Darran Lofthouse
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 1.1.0.Beta34


Clients such as the WildFly CLI provide a CallbackHandler implementation in case it is needed and not as a sign that it must be used, i.e. the desired outcome is that if the information required can be obtained from the configuration then authentication proceeds without interaction with the end user.

Neither the CLI or the end user should be required to be fully aware of the underlying security configuration.

This is similar to web browser HTTP authentication where there is only an interaction with the user if actually required.
