JBoss AS 7.1.1 Remote Deploy using Maven plugin - Authentication failed

[luigi.banzato]

Hello everyone,

I'm kinda new to JBoss, so forgive me if this is a silly question. But I've been doing research on this for the past week and I didn't find any solution that applied to my problem anywhere.

I'm trying to use the Maven JBoss Plugin to deploy a war file from a CI Server into a JBoss 7.1.1 standalone instance sitting in a different server.

Here's part of the pom.xml with the plugin configuration:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>7.5.Final</version>

  <configuration>
     <hostname>192.168.1.40</hostname>
     <port>4447</port>
     <name>appuser</name>
     <password>appuserpassword</password>
  </configuration>

  <executions>
     <execution>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
           <goal>deploy</goal>
        </goals>
     </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

However, when executing the deploy goal, I get the error:

[INFO] --- jboss-as-maven-plugin:7.5.Final:deploy (default) @ my-project ---

Reason: I/O Error could not execute operation '{

}'

I'm sure the server is running and listening to that address, because if I open http://192.168.1.40:9990 I'm able to access the admin interface.

Also, here are relevant pieces from my standalone.xml:

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

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:remoting:1.1">
   <connector name="remoting-connector" socket-binding="remoting" security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
</subsystem>

<interface name="any">
   <any-address/>
</interface>


<socket-binding name="remoting" interface="any" port="4447"/>

I did add the user "appuser" to the ApplicationRealm through the "add-user.sh" script, and I even double checked the configuration file to see if it is there:

$JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/application-users.properties

Does anyone have any clue?

You should be using port 9990 if that's the management port you have open.

Thanks, that didn't solve the problem, but raise the right question.

I actually had to use port 9999, which is configured as native management in the standalone.xml file:

<socket-binding name="management-native" interface="any" port="${jboss.management.native.port:9999}"/>
