add-user.sh with different jboss.domain.base.dir

[herb]

AS 7.1.1.Final

I'm starting my as7 with "-Djboss.domain.base.dir=/xyz" so it points outside jboss-as-7.1.1.Final directory, so jboss-as-7.1.1.Final directory is never modified.

But how can I tell add-user.sh to use my own "jboss.domain.base.dir"?

add-user.sh always writes to ${JBOSS_HOME}/domain/configuration/mgmt-users.properties and ${JBOSS_HOME}/standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties and not to /xyz/domain/configuration/mgmt-users.properties

I tried "${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/add-user.sh -Djboss.domain.base.dir=/xyz" and I also tried setting 'JAVA_OPTS=" -Djboss.domain.base.dir=/xyz' before calling add-user.sh.

Does anybody have a solution to this?

Try add-user.sh --help

You will find the -sc and -dc option to set the directories

add-user.sh --help does not work for me (I tried with 7.1.1.Final and 7.1.0.Final), it does not show any help message:

:bin>./add-user.sh --help

What type of user do you wish to add?

a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)

b) Application User (application-users.properties)

(a):

I also tried

$JBOSS_HOME/bin/add-user.sh -sc /xyz/standalone/ -dc /xyz/domain/

but add-user.sh wrote mgmt-users.properties below $JBOSS_HOME

The issue that you are looking for related to the location overrides is AS7-3995, this will be in a community release once the AS 7.2.x releases start - alternatively you could build the AS 7.1.2.Final tag yourself to obtain this change.
