How to create a user in JBoss Admin console

[generic1]

Hi,

I have a special problem concerning creation of a user in JBoss admin console.

My aim is to have an other user which can log in into JBoss console and can deploy *.war- Files but should not have the permission to create a new domain group.

My problem is a very basic one: If I click the add button (see picture) than I can add a User (xyz below) and I can assign roles to the created user (Deployer and Monitor below) - but I don't know how to give the currently created user a password.

Currently its nor clear for me how the process is done to create a new user.

It would be fine if someone could help me with this very basic problem.

Thanks a lot and all the best,

From Admin Console you can only assign roles to a user. But if you really want to create a user then you should use the "$JBOSS_HOME/bin/add-user.sh" script.

Thanks for the answer.

The JBoss Infrastructure I am working with works in domain mode. Therefore I am not sure if I should create a user with add-user,bat, Is there a way to create an user at domain controller for all hosts (JBoss Instances)?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, you should be creating the management users on the domain controller using the "add-user.bat" script only, Because all the management operations are performed via the Domain controller only in the domain mode. While adding the users using add-user.bat script the user entries goes inside the "mgmt-users.properties" file.

However you can have your own authentication mechanism like LDAP to store your users informations. Like https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6/html/Administration_and_Configurat…
