Should the auth realm for admin be dynamic?

I am working on
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10512 and haven't
found a way to squash it yet....

but, I am also left with this unanswered question... Do we really want
to change the authentication mechanism for admin privileges dynamically?

Note: the reason that it appears to be dynamic for the filer is due to
the fact that their domain is initializing lazily... and the security
service has not initialized before a call to config-ldap-for-admin.

Since there is a work-around... restart the domain after calling
config-ldap-for-admin, I am also tempted to lower this issue to p4.

Thanks,
