    Description

      The newly introduced attribute default-realm in properties-realm configuration in Elytron is ambiguous and should be renamed. The attribute contains default value for realm-name and it's used in password hash computation. So it's rather related to users-properties part only.

      Suggestion for improvement:
      Rename the attribute to sth. like realm-name-to-hash and put it into users-properties configuration if possible.

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

      or (if it's not easy to have it in users-properties configuration)

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