Starting Wildfly as a service using "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService"

[jijujacob27]

Hi,

I managed to configure Wildfly 8.2.0 to run as a service using "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" by using some minor tweaks in service.bat. I am able to verify that wildfly got successfully installed as a service in the services.msc (services console) on windows and had the "Network Service" as the logon account.

However I noticed that when I start the service, even though the Java process is started, the wildfly server does not come online. There is no content in the logs as well.

My question is "can we configure wildfly to run as a service using this account"

I was able to successfully run wildfly as a service using the Local System account and the domain account.

I am also attaching the changes done to the wildfly service.bat for reference to the tweaks mentioned above.

Thanks Tomaz,

I've tried to get this to work, but failed serving even a single webpage through WildFly.

would you be able to help me out with some troubleshooting?

I've set up the service with

{code}

set RUNAS=

CALL :TRIM %SERVICE_USER%

SET SERVICE_USER=%TRIMRESULT%

if not "%SERVICE_USER%" == "" (

if "%SERVICE_USER%" == ".\NetworkService" (

set RUNAS=--ServiceUser "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService"

) else (

if "%SERVICE_PASS%" =="" (

echo When specifying a service-user, you need to specify the service password

goto endBatch

)

set RUNAS=--ServiceUser=%SERVICE_USER% --ServicePassword=%SERVICE_PASS%

)

)

{code}

and then manually starting the service using command line: service.bat install /serviceuser .\NetworkService

I could see my application started out as a service using "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService", and the java process got kicked off, but the wildfly server never came online. i.e. my application was not in any shape to use or display a webpage.

Is there anything you'd need to help with that?
