Better error message if authentication is required to connect to the master but no realm is associated on the slave

In JBoss 6.2 domain environment if in the host.xml file on the slave is missing the realm in the domain-controller tag as reported below

<domain-controller>
<remote host="10.123.137.200" port="9999"/>
</domain-controller>

we get the following error:

Adding the realm everything works correctly

<domain-controller>
<remote host="10.123.137.200" port="9999" security-realm="ManagementRealm"/>
</domain-controller>

Maybe a warning message could be useful to find the problem.
