This happens when the security is defined in cache container, but the cache has security disabled.

Steps to reproduce:

• Start standalone with defined security e.g. docs/examples/configs/standalone-auth.xml
• try accessing unsecured cache with hotrod e.g.

ConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
      builder.addServer().host("127.0.0.1").port(ConfigurationProperties.DEFAULT_HOTROD_PORT)
      RemoteCacheManager cacheManager = new RemoteCacheManager(builder.build());
      RemoteCache<String, String> cache = cacheManager.getCache("default");
      cache.put("key", "value");
      System.out.printf("key = %s\n", cache.get("key"));
      cacheManager.stop();

Result:
