In Elytron, is OpenSSL intended as default TLS?

    Description

      When I look into elytron default configuration I see.

              <subsystem xmlns="urn:wildfly:elytron:1.0" initial-providers="combined-providers">
            <providers>
                <provider-loader name="elytron" module="org.wildfly.security.elytron"/>
                <provider-loader name="openssl" module="org.wildfly.openssl"/>
                <aggregate-providers name="combined-providers">
                    <providers name="elytron"/>
                    <providers name="openssl"/>
                </aggregate-providers>
            </providers>

      From that configuration I would assume initial-providers is setting additional security providers before globally registered providers (registered in java.security). So that mean openssl provider should be used first when it comes to TLS creation. But it seems to me JSSE TLS is used by default.

      What am I missing?
