Cannot connect to remote host using jboss-cli.sh via SOCKS in JBoss 7.1.1.Final

[formica]

I tried to connect to a remote instance of JBoss AS 7.1.1 (Brontes) which is behind a firewall using jboss-cli.sh command line,

and I did not manage; the cli script launched with

JAVA_OPTS="-DsocksProxyHost=localhost -DsocksProxyPort=3129"

./bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --controller=<myremote.host>

fails with

org.jboss.as.cli.CliInitializationException: Failed to connect to the controller

I use standalone configuration, containing in standalone.xml the default

{code:xml}
.....
        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:jmx:1.1">
            <show-model value="true"/>
            <remoting-connector/>
        </subsystem>
.....
{code}

I have a user in the standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties file which has been added using the add-user commands.

As far as I understood, remoting will use the ManagemenRealm.

The connection to the Web admin console using Firefox and Safari works from remote (once I have the socks proxy defined), and the

connection within the remote host (running jboss-cli from the remote host I mean) works also.

Can you suggest me where to look to solve my problem ?

Thanks,

Andrea

PS: I'm using Java version 6

I just realized I did a wrong cut and paste (I was testing a problem with the jconsole as well at the same time...)

What I wanted to show in the standalone.xml is that I have a standard interface and socket binding configuration...

{code:xml}
    <interfaces>
        <interface name="management">
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
        </interface>
        <interface name="public">
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
        </interface>
        <interface name="unsecure">
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:127.0.0.1}"/>
        </interface>
    </interfaces>
    <socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">
        <socket-binding name="management-native" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.native.port:9999}"/>
        <socket-binding name="management-http" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.http.port:9990}"/>
        <socket-binding name="management-https" interface="management" port="${jboss.management.https.port:9443}"/>
        <socket-binding name="ajp" port="8009"/>
        <socket-binding name="http" port="8080"/>
        <socket-binding name="https" port="8443"/>
        <socket-binding name="osgi-http" interface="management" port="8090"/>
        <socket-binding name="remoting" port="4447"/>
        <socket-binding name="txn-recovery-environment" port="4712"/>
        <socket-binding name="txn-status-manager" port="4713"/>
        <outbound-socket-binding name="mail-smtp">
            <remote-destination host="localhost" port="25"/>
        </outbound-socket-binding>
    </socket-binding-group>
{code}

In the meanwhile I was looking at the discussion https://community.jboss.org/thread/198443?tstart=0 , in which the question seems not answered.

Sorry again for the useless info on the configuration file.

I have a further update, I manage to connect from a remote host but WITHOUT the socks proxy (so I'm inside the same network).

In order to connect via socks in general I set socksProxyHost and socksProxyPort env variables.

Does this method not work within jboss-cli.sh ?

I used JAVA_OPTS to insert the 2 variables, as shown in my first post.
