silent authentication for local user failed with jboss-client.jar in JBoss EAP 8.0.x

Issue

• Though silent authentication for local user (connecting from localhost) is enabled for manangement port in JBoss EAP 8.x, authentication failure happens when connection the server from localhost with with jboss-client.jar in JBoss EAP 8.0.x.

• When I execute JMX client application (like an example code in this article) with jboss-client.jar for JBoss EAP 8.0 with the default configuration (= silent authentication for local user is enabled for management port by default), it unables to connect the server with the following authentication exception:

  Exception in thread "main" javax.security.sasl.SaslException: Authentication failed: none of the mechanisms presented by the server (JBOSS-LOCAL-USER, DIGEST-MD5) are supported

  The same application did not face the issue when connection JBoss EAP 7.4 with jboss-client.jar included in JBoss EAP 7.x.
