How to log in to admin console?

[fredand44]

Hello!

We are using JBoss 6.4.

I need to use the admin console.

I managed to create a user after following the instructions at:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Getting_Started_with_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform_6.html

I have tried both a and b-type-users, and also let them be in role "guest" and "PowerUser" and no role at all.

I also used an easy password like 1234qwer!

I also see that the user occurs in the diffrent *user.properties files depending on the a and b-type-users.

I managed to change the IP for my JBoss so I could access the admin console from outside the server-machine.

I can see in the log that the admin console should be available at:

http://123.1.2.3:9990

When I access from my browser it asks for username and password.

But I never get pass the popup.

Do you guys see any mistakes?

Best regards

Fredrik

Hello!

I just found out that our JBoss 6 where we have this problem is built on RHEL. I'm not sure what RHEL means but I guess it differs from a plain JBoss 6. Because when I do the same (set up a user and log in to admin-console) on my local machine with a JBoss 6 it works fine.

Hope this is a clue for someone to perhaps have a hint for me.

Best regards

Aha! RHEL looks like it stands for: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

...but does that JBoss differ so much from a plain JBoss?

To log in to the admin console you need to create a Management-User (mgmt-users.properties). You should also not assign any role to this user.

I'd suggest that you execute add-user.sh again.

Hello!

Thanks for your reply!

I suspect that the problem is that when I execute add-user.sh from:

/opt/jboss/jboss-eap-6.4/bin.

...then it writes to files in:

/opt/jboss/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/configuration

/opt/jboss/jboss-eap-6.4/domain/configuration

But it looks like (perhaps since we use RHEL) it should write to files in:

/usr/local/limbo/jboss/configuration

We have some guys that have set this up for us, I will try to ask them how run add-user correct this.

I guess that the use of /usr/local/limbo/jboss might not be standard, perhaps it just applies to us?

I get back as soon as I can.

If you got any suggestions please let me know!

Best regards

In essence, you should be able to login to JMX-console: https://<server-ip>/jmx-console.

I'm assuming your question is related to logging into JMX console for management.

Navigate to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/props and look for jmx-console-users.properties

Here by default, this will have admin=admin entry which is a property for username=password

Also. under the same folder, you'll find jmx-console-roles.properties and check if for the user admin, whether you have JBossAdmin role or not.

Hello!

It turned out that I needed to pass the filepath as parametrar to add-usel.sh.
