Doc Text:
JBoss EAP 6's add user utility iterates the value being used as the key in a properties file and escapes all occurrences of special characters. In previous versions of the product, an error in how the characters were checked caused only the first instance of the 'equals' character (=) to be escaped. If a username contained a subsequent 'equals' character, it was not properly escaped, causing the generated properties file to be unusable. In this release, the special character handling is now corrected to handle all occurrences of the 'equals' character and usernames containing more than one are correctly written to the properties file.

Description Josef Cacek 2014-10-07 09:26:04 UTC 
When adding a user with name containing equal sign (=), only the first occurrence is escaped.

Reproducer:

./add-user.sh -u 'uid=jduke,ou=Users,dc=jboss,dc=org' -p admin.1234 -r ManagementRealm -g SuperUser

cat ../standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties

Actual output:
uid\=jduke,ou=Users,dc=jboss,dc=org=<HASH>

Expected output:
uid\=jduke,ou\=Users,dc\=jboss,dc\=org=<HASH>
