wildfly 9 - web console not working correctly ?

[rsoika]

Hi,

I just installed wildfly 9.0.1 and tried to setup one of my EAR projects there.

But I am a little bit confused after one hour of trying to configure security realm and database connection via web console or directly in standalone.xml file.

I have different instances of wildfly 8.2 running locally and in production. Wildfly 8 works fine for me. Only the user interface to configure databases, security, or mail from the web admin console was frustrating. So I hoped now that wilfly 9 will improve this. There is a new web interface. But again it looks to me that the web interface is not working. For example I try to configure a database security domain. I have to setup the login-modul 'Database' and the login-module 'RoleMapping'. In each module I have to configure several 'module-option'. But when I click between the module configurations, the module options are not displayed in the web interface correctly. Also in most cases if I try to edit some option other options will be delete or overwritten. So the Web interface seems not be useful for configuration.

Is this a known issue? Is it recommended ot edit the standalone.xml file directly?

Thanks for help or hints.

I have a similar problem. When entering the name/value pairs, certain characters are stripped out. For example the LdapExtended modue. I want the module-option to be:

<module-option name="bindDN" value="cn=john,ou=accounts,dc=example,dc=com"/>

so I enter bindDN=cn=john,ou=accounts,dc=example,dc=com in the text entry box. But when I save, what it written to the standalone.xml is:

<module-option name="bindDN" value="cn"/>

Also if I enter baseFilter=(sAMAccountName={0}) it becomes:

<module-option name="baseFilter" value="(sAMAccountName"/>

It seems the parser should take everything up to the first "=" as the name and everything after the first "=" as the value rather than tokenizing on all the '=' on the whole line.

Cheers,

Alex

@alex Hi alex, reading your porblme description it sounds like a bug. Would you mind to create a Jira for it?

[heiko.braun]

@ralph could you create a jira for this, too? it would help it you could provide the steps to reproduce the issue.

In any case: Have you tried Wildfly 10 Beta1 to see if the problems persist? The UI in 10 received many updates in the meantime.

@alex It's a known issue tracked by [HAL-829] Allow values containing "=" and/or "," in object maps - JBoss Issue Tracker

An alternative would to build HAL master and replace it in 9.0.x: https://github.com/hal/core.git
