      1. Set kerberos for management interface https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-jboss-enterprise-application-platform/version-7.0/how-to-set-up-sso-with-kerberos/#configure-krb-management-interfaces
      2. Configure for-hosts attribute

      standalone.xlm
                  <security-realm name="PriorityForHostsProtocolBeforePrincipal">
                      <server-identities>
                          <kerberos>
                              <keytab principal="HTTP/localhost.localdomain@JBOSS.ORG" path="krb.keytab" for-hosts="wrongprotocol/localhost.localdomain"/>
                              <keytab principal="HTTP/wronghost@JBOSS.ORG" path="krb.keytab" for-hosts="HTTP/localhost.localdomain"/>
                          </kerberos>
      

      3. <keytab principal="HTTP/wronghost@JBOSS.ORG" path="krb.keytab" for-hosts="HTTP/localhost.localdomain"/> should be chosen but <keytab principal="HTTP/wronghost@JBOSS.ORG" path="krb.keytab" for-hosts="HTTP/localhost.localdomain"/> is.

      There is regresion in strategy of choosing keytab described by xsd

      wildfly-config_5_0.xsd
                  <xs:element name="keytab">
                      <xs:complexType>
                          <xs:annotation>

                                  Reference to an individual keytab.
      
                                  On handling the authentication for an incoming request two pieces of information are known, the protocol and the name of the host
                                  this server is acting as.  For HTTP requests the protocol will always be HTTP, for requests over Remoting by default the protocol will
                                  be 'remote' although this can be overridden.
      
                                  At the time authentication is going to be handled the keytab will be selected as follows: -
                                   1 - Iterate the list of keytabs and identity one where the for-hosts attribute contains an entry matching protocol/hostname.
                                   2 - Iterate the list of keytabs and identify one where the name of the principal matches matches protocol/hostname.
                                   3 - Iterate the list of keytabs and identity one where the for-hosts attribute contains an entry matching hostname.
                                   4 - Iterate the list of keytabs and identify one where the hostname portion of the principal matches the hostname of the request.
                                   5 - Use the keytab where for-hosts is set to '*'.
      
                                  If no match is found no keytab will be selected and Kerberos will not be available for communication as that host.

      In this example

      standalone.xlm
                  <security-realm name="PriorityForHostsProtocolBeforePrincipal">
                      <server-identities>

                              <keytab principal="HTTP/wronghost@JBOSS.ORG" path="krb.keytab" for-hosts="HTTP/localhost.localdomain"/>
                          </kerberos>
      

      Rule 1 should be applied, but <keytab principal="HTTP/localhost.localdomain@JBOSS.ORG" path="krb.keytab" for-hosts="wrongprotocol/localhost.localdomain"/> is chosen,
