Default Elytron realm names are confusing - use same values as Legacy security realms

XMLWordPrintable

      The default application server profiles now contain Elytron subsystem configured (more in EAP7-543). The subsystem contains 2 properties realms, which copy behavior of security realms in legacy security. They use the same name as the original ones ApplicationRealm and ManagementRealm:

      <properties-realm name="ApplicationRealm">
          <users-properties path="application-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir" digest-realm-name="ApplicationRealm"/>
          <groups-properties path="application-roles.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir"/>
      </properties-realm>
      <properties-realm name="ManagementRealm">
          <users-properties path="mgmt-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir" digest-realm-name="ManagementRealm"/>
          <groups-properties path="mgmt-groups.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir"/>
      </properties-realm>
      

      The new Elytron realms must use different names than legacy ones. Otherwise customers/administrators may think about the Elytron realms as just references to the legacy security.

      Suggested solution
      Rename the default Elytron realms to something like ElytronManagementRealm or ManagementElytronRealm. So the configuration looks like:

      <properties-realm name="ApplicationElytronRealm">
          <users-properties path="application-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir" digest-realm-name="ApplicationRealm"/>
          <groups-properties path="application-roles.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir"/>
      </properties-realm>
      <properties-realm name="ManagementElytronRealm">
          <users-properties path="mgmt-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir" digest-realm-name="ManagementRealm"/>
          <groups-properties path="mgmt-groups.properties" relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir"/>
      </properties-realm>
