      Workaround #1 - create a user that all clients specify user / pass

      Workaround #2

      • configure a security realm / security domain that always returns the same principal / groups on remoting / undertow
      • put a wildfly-config.xml in the standalone or application running in JBoss with config as shown below that configures an arbitrary user/pass (they can be anything they will not be used)

      unzip -d $JBOSS_HOME/ reproducer-overlay.zip

      Starting with this system property set will reproduce the error:
      ./bin/standalone.sh -DuseHttp

      Starting without the system property set, will use remote+http will will invoke fine as it works when the security-realm="ApplicationRealm" is removed from the remoting subsystem.

      ./bin/standalone.sh

      For EJB over remote+http / http-remoting , removing the security-realm from the http-connector disables security and allows any remote client to connect to the endpoint without authenticating.

              <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:remoting:4.0">
                  <http-connector name="http-remoting-connector" connector-ref="default" security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
              </subsystem>
      

      For EJB over Http it goes over the http-invoker in undertow, removing the ApplicationRealm

              <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:undertow:7.0" default-server="default-server" default-virtual-host="default-host" default-servlet-container="default" default-security-domain="other">
      ...
                      <host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
                          <location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
                          <http-invoker security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
                      </host>
                  </server>
      

      It fails with:
