there's a documentation that lists the supported transport level mechanisms for authentication in the management API:

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/ManagementAPISecurityTransportAuthentication

A slightly more extensive discussion is found here:

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/ManagementAPISecurityAuthenticationMechanisms

There's also a (possible) sample config here:

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/ManagementAPISecurityPossibleConfigurationSample

The default configuration that is shipped with as7 uses a properties file:

{code}
<security-realms>
  <security-realm name="PropertiesMgmtSecurityRealm">
    <authentication>
      <properties path="mgmt-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir" />
    </authentication>
  </security-realm>
</security-realms>

{code}

The referenced properties file (mgmt-users.properties) has no entries and therefore allows anybody to log in.

{code}
#Format: username=password
#
#admin=admin
{code}
