Overview
A security domain is a set of Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) declarative security configurations used by one or more applications to control authentication, authorization and security auditing. An application specifies a security domain to manage its security information. Security domains are declared as part of the security subsystem. A security domain is a JBoss concept that predates the security realm, which was introduced in JBoss 7 and then WildFly.

Users can create custom security domains, as shown here:
