Setting a new password for admin on Jboss 5.1

[minimike]

Hi there,

I've running Jboss 5.1 on FreeBSD using a database on PostgreSQL for DefaultDS. That's running fine.

But how could I set an new password for the user admin inside the admin-panel? I didn't find something inside the database and changing the file web-console-users.properties has no result.

cheers Darko

What do you mean by admin-panel? Did you mean admin-console? If so, what security-domain is set in admin-console/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml? How to change the admin password depends on what that security domain is.

Hi! Peter, could you please explain that?

I need to change admin pass without change any configuration files... can I do that by admin-console?

I know that I can edit the file jm x-console-users.properties in the directory JBOSS_HOME/server/PROFILE/conf/props/ but I would like to avoid it...

My security-domain is:

<security-domain>java:/jaas/jmx-console</security-domain>

Thx a lot!

You have chosen to use a security domain where account info is stored in a text file. The only way to change the account info is to edit the text file. If you want to change account info via a user inetrface, you will have to pick a different authenication mechanism, perhaps using a database or ldap. No matter which mechanism you pick, you will have to write the UI to modify the account information, there is nothing in the admin-console to do this (from what I can remember, it's be a while since I looked at it).
