RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Previously, the Red Hat® JBoss® middleware and OpenShift products reserved the user ID and group ID pair 185:185 for the JBoss Application Server user called jboss-as. As this user is now going to be used more widely, a more generic name, jboss, has been chosen for it. With this update, the reservation of the user ID and group ID pair has been changed to jboss in the setup package, mentioning former reservations for jboss-as and wildfly.
Description of problem:
Currently then the EAP product is being installed in the RPM version a jboss user and jboss group is being created, although it does not use static uid/gids:
JBOSS_SHELL=/sbin/nologin
%{_sbindir}/groupadd -r jboss 2>/dev/null || :
%{_sbindir}/useradd -c JBossAS -r -s $JBOSS_SHELL -d %{_localstatedir}/lib/jbossas -g jboss jboss 2>/dev/null || :
This is a problem, because the generated uid can conflict with some services. A static user and group id should be used.
Additionally, in the Cloud Enablement team we are preparing initial Docker images for JBoss products. Every product will be used launched as a regular jboss user. We need to base on a registered uid/gid to not choose an ID that could possibly conflict with some other service. Using static uid/gid in Docker is crucial, because the system administrator need to know upfront the id's to set up the volumes permissions for the selected user.

Additional info:
Vasku, jboss-as is reserved as 185/185 in RHEL 6 and RHEL 7. They are now discussing how to rename it properly. So I believe this is just confusion (and definitely not a blocker ;).
