Or remove the <local ... line from the ApplicationRealm

            <security-realm name="ApplicationRealm">
                ...
                <authentication>
                    <local default-user="$local" allowed-users="*" skip-group-loading="true"/>

Disabling the file based authentication challenge at the client level

      Properties p = new Properties();
      p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.wildfly.naming.client.WildFlyInitialContextFactory");
      p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "remote+http://localhost:8080");
      p.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");
      p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "ejbuser");
      p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "redhat1!");
      p.put("jboss.naming.client.connect.options.org.xnio.Options.SASL_DISALLOWED_MECHANISMS", "JBOSS-LOCAL-USER");
