[wildfly-dev] Design of clustering subsystem for Wildfly

[Brian Stansberry]

The security issue is critical. If a JGroups channel allows access to 
the management layer, that channel is equivalent to any of our other 
management interfaces and has to be secured in an equivalent manner.

That means the channel will need to authenticate users against the 
management security realm. That realm supports client cert, digest and 
plain-text authentication mechanisms, plus the "local" mechanisms. The 
credentials provided by the user would need to propagate.
