How to disable JBOSS-LOCAL-USER SASL mechanism in Wildfly 14

Question

How can I disable JBOSS-LOCAL-USER SASL authentication mechanism in Wildfly 14 client. I have set the following property in jboss-ejb-client.properties: remote.connection.default.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_DISALLOWED_MECHANISMS=JBOSS-LOCAL-USER

Still, I can see that JBOSS-LOCAL-USER mechanism is chosen by the client, which fails as the client and server reside on different hosts.

You can remove the server configuration for local authentication. For standalone you'd execute the following CLI command.

/core-service=management/security-realm=ApplicationRealm/authentication=local:remove

This removes the local authentication challenge from the ApplicationRealm which is the default realm for applications.
