Starting with WildFly 28, jboss-client.jar is missing elytron SASL anonymous provider. The provider is still available in jboss-cli-client.jar. Wrote a bash script that searches for a particular class in all the jar in current folder + subfolders. Here are my findings:

Verified in Wildfly 33.0.2 Final, same behavior.

Is the removal of SASL anonymous provider from jboss-client.jar intentional or is this a bug?
