      1. unzip server and start it ./bin/standalone.sh
      2. connect to CLI, define dummy dir-context in elytron subsystem: 
        /subsystem=elytron/dir-context=foo:add(url="file:///tmp")
      3. list newly added dir-context and see that default value of referral-mode attribute is printed in upper-case: 
        /] ls /subsystem=elytron/dir-context=foo
authentication-context=undefined  connection-timeout=undefined      enable-connection-pooling=false   principal=undefined               read-timeout=undefined            ssl-context=undefined             
authentication-level=simple       credential-reference=undefined    module=undefined                  properties=undefined              referral-mode=IGNORE              url=file:///tmp
      4. write custom value to the attribute and list again: 
        /] /subsystem=elytron/dir-context=foo:write-attribute(name=referral-mode,value=THROW)
/] reload
/] ls /subsystem=elytron/dir-context=foo
authentication-context=undefined  connection-timeout=undefined      enable-connection-pooling=false   principal=undefined               read-timeout=undefined            ssl-context=undefined             
authentication-level=simple       credential-reference=undefined    module=undefined                  properties=undefined              referral-mode=follow              url=file:///tmp
      5. referral-mode attribute value is now printed in lower-case

      There seems to be a discrepancy of the '/elytron/dir-context[referral-mode]' attribute represented value.

      When there is no value set (default is applied), then particular value is printed in upper-case - IGNORE. Although, when we set custom value, then when we try to read it, it is printed in lower-case now, e.g. ignore (lower-case is also saved in raw xml configuration).

      This behavior started with JBoss EAP 7.3.0.GA and is still present in JBoss EAP 7.4.0.CD19. Not sure whether this change was intentional. I was able to find only this issue which may be kind of related WFCORE-3971.

      In JBoss EAP 7.2.x there was always upper-case value printed.

      What is the issue here:

      1. If this change was NOT intentional -> consider whether we would like to go to original behavior (upper-case returned always, including raw xml)
      2. If this change was intentional -> we should probably update so that even default value is lower-case as otherwise this behavior can be confusing for the customer - sometimes there is printed value in upper-case only, otherwise lower-case only. Also, this may be complication for customer automation scripts too.
