Elytron properties-realm doesn't handle unicode sequences

      Store attached property files in standalone/configuration (replace existing ones). They contain 3 users mapped to JBossAdmin role. The usernames are the same as passwords:

      • user
      • admin
      • @!#?$%^&*()%+-{}用戶名اسمالمستخدمžščřžďťňäáéěëíýóůúüŽŠČŘŽĎŤŇÄÁÉĚËÍÝÓŮÚÜ

      Use following CLI to re-configure server to use plain-text credentials (legacy security way):

      /core-service=management/security-realm=ApplicationRealm/authentication=properties:write-attribute(name=plain-text, value=true)

      Deploy attached application and open it:

      Try to authenticate with all the usernames -> all 3 pass in this legacy configuration. Principal names are returned as response bodies.

      Reconfigure server to use Elytron:

      /subsystem=elytron/properties-realm=ApplicationRealm:write-attribute(name=users-properties.plain-text, value=true)
/subsystem=undertow/application-security-domain=other:add(http-authentication-factory=application-http-authentication)
reload

      Try again to authenticate with all the usernames -> only the "user" one passes because the 2 others has unicode escape sequences in it and Elytron is not able to handle them.

      Users who use property-file based authentication with plain passwords can't authenticate with Elytron if the property file contains Unicode escape sequences (e.g. file generated by using a classical java.util.Properties). The same authentication works with legacy solution (/core-service=management/security-realm=ApplicationRealm/authentication=properties(plain-text=true, ...)).

      The LegacyPropertiesSecurityRealm implementation has to be able to support properties files which were supported by legacy security realms.
