on windows, with Oracle JDK 7, bind EAP to a link-local IPv6 address (assuming there is only one interface on which this address can be resolved):
{noformat}
standalone.bat -bmanagement=[fe80::c8c6:9156:6b8a:9012]
{noformat}
and try to connect to it from the same machine using jboss-cli.bat, without specifying zone-id:
{noformat}
jboss-cli.bat -c --controller=fe80::c8c6:9156:6b8a:9012:9999
{noformat}
It will require username and password. If you specify zone-id, it will work correctly and log you in automatically. Tested on Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64bit, oracle JDK 1.7.0_10.

On Linux [tested on RHEL 6 64bit; oracle JDK 1.7.0_11], local auth works in both cases (with and without zone-id)

This for example also prevents you from running AS testsuite on Windows and binding managed servers to a link-local address without zone-id, because Arquillian will be able to start them, but will not be able to connect to them.
