    Description

      ElytronAuthenticator.getPasswordAuthentication() cannot obtain PasswordFactory for Elytron related algorithms. It is caused by missing WildFlyElytronProvider (since Security::getProviders is used for obtaining providers) for PasswordFactory.getInstance in [1].

      It results to hidden NoSuchAlgorithmException with message ELY08028: Invalid algorithm "clear" and stacktrace:

      org.wildfly.security.password.PasswordFactory.getInstance(PasswordFactory.java:121)
org.wildfly.security.password.PasswordFactory.getInstance(PasswordFactory.java:75)
org.wildfly.security.auth.util.ElytronAuthenticator.getPasswordAuthentication(ElytronAuthenticator.java:92)
java.net.Authenticator.requestPasswordAuthentication(Authenticator.java:317)
...

      It causes that even if element net-authenticator from Elytron client configuration file correctly sets ElytronAuthenticator as default Authenticator, it is not able to work with Elytron related algorithms which means it breaks feature from RFE7-567 - Client Side Security (Elytron Client) => we request blocker flag.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
