             Summary: [GSS][7.2.2] HTTP External Security Not Supported by Elytron
                 Key: ELY-1921
                 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ELY-1921
             Project: WildFly Elytron
          Issue Type: Requirement
    Affects Versions: 1.11.0.Final
            Reporter: Ashley Abdel-Sayed
            Assignee: Ashley Abdel-Sayed


For legacy security, there's an EXTERNAL HTTP authentication mechanism (io.undertow.security.impl.ExternalAuthenticationMechanism) which performs no verification and simply uses the principal that was passed from the REMOTE_USER attribute by the AJP protocol. There is a "ClientLoginModule" in legacy security used as such: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3465231.  It is a requirement to add an equivalent of this EXTERNAL mechanism available in legacy and Elytron-SASL for Elytron-HTTP in order to migrate away from legacy security.
