Hooray, we have already a simple way to enable Elytron accross all the default server profiles. The JBoss CLI script was added to the application server distribution! You can find it in the docs/examples/enable-elytron.cli file. Download the WildFly nightly build as was shown in the last entry and then let's just execute the CLI script: bin/jboss-cli.sh --file=docs/examples/enable-elytron.cli That's it :)
