Bug 1072367

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1020151 +++

Description of problem:
 Add-user utility gives us the ability to specify properties files which should be used to store users. However error is thrown once user tries to use properties file that doesn't exist. If this is a desired behaviour we may explicitly mention this in add-user script help message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 EAP 6.2.0.ER6

How reproducible:
 always

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Navigate into $EAP_HOME/bin folder
 2. Run: jboss-eap-6.2/bin]$ ./add-user.sh -u appuser1 -p password1! -up appusers.properties

Actual results:
 * Error * 
JBAS015234: No appusers.properties files found.

Expected results:
 Properties file is created. 

Additional info:
 If there is a good reason for not creating the properties file we should at least mention this in script help message and documentation (BZ872441).
Example 4.4. Create a user belonging to single group using alternate properties files to store the information.

Please let me know if the plans are to fix this. As Petr said, if there are no plans to create the file if it doesn't exist, I need to document it.

This is a change that has to be made upstream in Wildfly, then backported to the EAP AS 6.x.  It will automatically make it into the distribution.  We should try and not fork a change like this from the code base.

Jason, who can do this work?

Does anyone have an update on this issue? I need to know ASAP if I need to document this in the Administration and Configuration Guide (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=872441).

No plans to look into this for EAP 6.2.

Better error messages may be appropriate in a future release but the intention of add-user is to be adding users to the property files already in use by the server i.e. we do expect them to exist.
