Hi Gurus Again..

I took your advise and trying up Jboss 7.1 cluster setup to sell Jboss AS7 at my work place... so am trying AS 7.1 on my local systems first..

I 'am following..the how to notes at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/AS7+Cluster+Howto

everything works fine.. untill I come till  "Dry Run" step from the notes..

when I do a dry run am getting

[Host Controller] 13:17:48,535 ERROR [org.jboss.remoting.remote.connection] (Remoting "slave:MANAGEMENT" read-1) JBREM000200: Remote connection failed: javax.security.sasl.SaslException: Authentication failed: all available authentication mechanisms failed

[Host Controller] 13:17:48,549 ERROR [org.jboss.as.host.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS010901: Could not connect to master. Aborting. Error was: java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBAS010942: Unable to connect due to authentication failure.

[Host Controller] 13:17:48,592 INFO  [org.jboss.as] (MSC service thread 1-4) JBAS015950: JBoss AS 7.1.0.Final "Thunder" stopped in 34ms

13:17:48,966 INFO  [org.jboss.as.process] (Thread-8) JBAS012015: All processes finished; exiting

this is what I have/changed in my Master server host.xml file..

<interfaces>

        <interface name="management">

            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:10.36.200.10}"/>

        </interface>

        <interface name="public">

           <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:10.36.200.10}"/>

        </interface>

        <interface name="unsecure">

            <!-- Used for IIOP sockets in the standarad configuration.

                 To secure JacORB you need to setup SSL -->

            <inet-address value="10.36.200.10"/>

        </interface>

    </interfaces>

this is what I have/changed in my slave host.xml file.. and I moved the domain.xml file to domain.xml.move like it suggested in the notes..That show I wanted to try first..

<host name="slave" xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:1.1">

<security-realms>

            <security-realm name="ManagementRealm">

                <server-identities>

                        <secret value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"/>

                </server-identities>

                <authentication>

                    <properties path="mgmt-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.domain.config.dir"/>

                </authentication>

            </security-realm>

            <security-realm name="ApplicationRealm">

                <authentication>

                    <properties path="application-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.domain.config.dir" />

                </authentication>

            </security-realm>

        </security-realms>

..............

  <domain-controller>

       <!-- Alternative remote domain controller configuration with a host and port -->

       <!-- <remote host="${jboss.domain.master.address}" port="${jboss.domain.master.port:9999}"/> -->

       <remote host="10.36.200.10" port="9999" security-realm="ManagementRealm"/>

    </domain-controller>

    <interfaces>

        <interface name="management">

            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:10.36.200.16}"/>

        </interface>

        <interface name="public">

           <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:10.36.200.16}"/>

        </interface>

        <interface name="unsecure">

            <!-- Used for IIOP sockets in the standarad configuration.

                 To secure JacORB you need to setup SSL -->

            <inet-address value="10.36.200.16"/>

        </interface>

    </interfaces>
