      It's very hard to debug the SASL authentication failures, because remoting connection doesn't log information about the failure cause. IMO the problem is in method org.jboss.remoting3.ConnectionImpl.receiveAuthResponse(int, byte[]), namely this piece of code:

                  try {
                challenge = saslServer.evaluateResponse(response);
            } catch (SaslException e) {
                try {
                    connectionHandler.sendAuthReject(id);
                } catch (IOException e1) {
                    authMap.remove(auth);
                    auth.dispose();
                    log.trace("Failed to send auth reject", e1);
                }
                return;
            }

      The catch block consumes the exception without letting user know what happened.

      Suggested fix:
      Print Stack trace on TRACE log level in the catch block.
