EJB 3.2 12.3.1 Security Roles:

A security role with the name “**” is defined by the Container, and is intended to be used by the Bean
Provider, Application Assembler, or Deployer to indicate that the caller must log on or authenticate to
invoke a method or to perform some processing requiring membership in this container role. This con-
tainer security role indicates that authentication, without consideration of role membership, is required.

This doesn't seem to work in WildFly 9.0.0.Beta1. An authenticated user trying to invoke methods annotated @PermitAll("**") gets an EJBAccessException.
I started preparing tests for this behavior at https://github.com/jmartisk/wildfly/commits/master-ejb32tests-starrole

It causes failures in:
