HELP - Cant Log into Mgt Console

[javadon]

I just installed JBOSS on my Win2k server machine but I cant log into the management console. I am trying to log in at
http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/ but it is asking me for a username and password. But during installation JBOSS never asked me to set up a username and password.

PLEASE HELP!

There is no user/password by default, somebody changed it for a reason.

[javadon]

Thanks Adrian.

Not sure how this happened because I am the only one who has interacted with the new installation.

How do I remove the the username/password feature?

Thanks

Comment the <security-constraint> element in deploy/jmx-console/WEB-INF/web.xml.

/L

Is this the right path to the web file?

C:\jboss-3.2.3\docs\examples\tomcat\jbossweb-tomcat50.sar\ROOT.war\WEB-INF

There is a web.xml file in the WEB-INF folder.

If this is not the right path please provide me with the correct path to the web.xml file I need.

Thanks in advance

I just checked that web.xml file and it isnt the right one because there is no <security-constraint> element in it. I dont seem to have the path "deploy/jmx-console/WEB-INF/web.xml", I dont see a deploy or jmx-console folder.

PLEASE ADVISE!!

Thanks

Look in the jboss-web.xml file. There should be a security-domain or somethign like that. Comment it out.

[javadon]

Right, but which web.xml file? There are a few in diff folders.

Thanks

[spiritualmechanic]

jmx-console/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

[javadon]

Ok, I found these 2 in the file:

<!ELEMENT jboss-web (security-domain?, resource-ref* , ejb-ref*)>

<!ELEMENT security-domain (#PCDATA)>


Which one do I comment out, the first, second or both??

Thanks

[spiritualmechanic]

That is a DTD file. That's not an xml file. Don't touch those...

[javadon]

The place I found the file is

C:\jboss-3.2.3\docs\dtd

Im assuming this is wrong.

Can you provide the entire path for jmx-console/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml please? I cant find this particular path. As I said I dont see a jmx-console folder.

thanks

[spiritualmechanic]

JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jmx-console.war/WEB-INF

Let me know if that isn't there. I'm on jb3.2.1 at the moment.

[javadon]

Ok, great, found it.

Now, your saying edit the jboss-web file not the web file right?

Thanks

[spiritualmechanic]

Well, if you can, post the content of jboss-web.xml. If you comment the security-domain out, the web.xml won't be tied to a JBoss security domain, which should allow you to hit it w/o logging in.
