cd wildfly
mvn clean install -DskipTests -Dcheckstyle.skip
cd testsuite/integration/elytron/

      In our tests for PLAIN SASL mechanism in the AS testsuite we realized a wrong SaslClient implementation is used. Instead of the Elytron one, the JDK provided one is used (com.sun.security.sasl.PlainClient).

      The Elytron client builds the AuthenticationContext and runs executed code in this way:

      AuthenticationConfiguration authnCfg = AuthenticationConfiguration.EMPTY.allowSaslMechanisms(MECHANISM_PLAIN)
        .useName(USERNAME).usePassword("wrongPassword")
        .useDefaultProviders();
AuthenticationContext.empty().with(MatchRule.ALL, authnCfg).run(...)

      It seems to be related to what's included on classpath. When we use the same code in elytron-client-demo the correct mechanism is used.

      Update:
      Remove following Assume row from AbstractMgmtSaslTestBase.java (currently in https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/pull/2481) as part of the fix:

      Assume.assumeFalse("ELY-1203 - Skipping PLAIN mechanism.", "PLAIN".equals(mechanismName));
