JBoss "other" security domain

What is the significance of the other security domain in JBoss. I am new to JBoss and read the documentation but cannot understand why it is used.

<security-domain name="other" cache-type="default">
  <authentication>
    <login-module code="Remoting" flag="optional">
      <module-option name="password-stacking" value="useFirstPass"/>
    </login-module>
    <login-module code="RealmDirect" flag="required">
      <module-option name="password-stacking" value="useFirstPass"/>
    </login-module>
  </authentication>
</security-domain>

What would happen if I just remove these two modules? Given that my application has my own domain specific security domain defined.

You can have various security domains elements configured in JBoss. They can be referenced via jboss-web.xml files in different web projects if you want to have different security levels for different war's.

other is the default security domain. It can be removed (replaced with something more sophisticated), just be sure to remove its references also.
