The security subsystem is either not parsing the JASPI config or interpreting the resulting add operation correctly. The login-module-stack tag requires a name attribute. The parsed ModelNode does not reflect the attribute name of 'name' only the value. When org.jboss.as.security.SecurityDomainAdd.processJASPIAuth(...) is executed an exception is thrown when validating that 'name' exists. (stack.require(NAME).asString() Below is an example config recreating the problem, the ModelNodes created from the config and the resulting exception. Attempts to add a child 'name' element to the configuration as a work around caused failures during parsing of the security subsystem.

Example JASPI configuration consistent with jboss-as-security_1_1.xsd
