             Summary: Provide Elytron alternative to RoleMappingLoginModule
                 Key: WFCORE-3880
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-3880
             Project: WildFly Core
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Final
            Reporter: Darran Lofthouse


In picketbox there is RoleMappingLoginModule [1], which takes role as returned from authorization process and maps to different role. I thought something similar should be configurable with some of Elytron role-mappers. But looking into model/code, it is not obvious to me which of them can be used. I know custom role mapper can be still used, but I wonder if we really do not provide this common funcionality out of the box with Elytron.

Another workaround is to use direct roles from realm (e.g. LDAP ) in target (e.g. web.xml). But seems users tend to map IDM Roles  to applicaiton roles.
