Hi,

   If you are trying to add an user to security realm then you can try this out :

   1. Run add-user .bat present in your EAP_HOME/bin.

   2. Choose whether to add a Management User or Application User.

   3. Choose the realm to which you want to add a user.

   4. Type the username, password, and roles, when prompted.

You will need to add a new realm to the login config or amend a current one.

Active Directory supports LDAP so use that. Bear in mind there are differences in the way some of the objects are named in AD compared to a "stock" LDAP mechanism. Use Port 389 although this does have limitations I recall on the number of recursive levels you can search through.

Start with an LDAP browser against the Active Directory System - that will allow you to determine the BIND details, search paths etc. [AD uses samAccountName for the user name]

Each installation will be unique.

Hi Graeme,

Thank you for your suggestion. But, Can I use windows user (local user) for authentication?

I don't want to add AD and DNS role in my server.

PS. I spent more time to research about jboss supports windows local user authentication or not.
