The WildFly 11 release includes a new security framework WildFly Elytron, a number of blog posts are being written by a number of engineers so this article is to try and collect references to them in one location.
Although this initially contains links to blog posts written by the core engineering teams feel free to add links to any blog posts you write yourselves looking at different WildFly Elytron features and also links to other public blog posts you may find out there.
Also if there are topics that may be useful to be blogged about please mention them in the comments, anyone looking for some inspiration to write a blog post will then hopefully have some ideas.
