Overview

WildFly core management functionality is exposed via two different management interfaces (the terms management interfaces and management APIs are used interchangeably):

These two interfaces offer distinct ways to access the same core management system.

Security

Core management authentication is responsible for securing the management interfaces. Core management authentication is built into the core management and it is enabled and configured as a core service by default.

The management APIs relies on the Management Realm for authentication and authorization needs: in order to access the management API functionality, a user need to successfully authenticate against the Management Realm. Note that by default, no roles are required to access the management APIs, authentication is sufficient.

JMX Management Beans

The management API is also exposed as JMX Management Beans. These Management Beans are referred to as core mbeans. Prior to WildFly, the management functionality was primarily JMX based. With WildFly, the core management does not rely on JMX to perform operations, JMX exposed beans are now just an alternative mechanism, in addition to the native and HTTP interfaces.
