Description of problem: Installer removes the default content of mgmt-users.properties which, among other things, contains default realm name used by add-user utility. - $INSTALLATION_TARGET/standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties - $INSTALLATION_TARGET/domain/configuration/mgmt-users.properties Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.4.0.CR1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. java -jar jboss-eap-6.4.0.CR1-installer.jar 2. finish installation using default values where possible 3. vim $INSTALLATION_TARGET/standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties Actual results: $ cat EAP-6.4.0/standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties admin=6b9d4d6d0293f023f66c51d8b70392d8 It would be nice to preserve most of the content and remove just last paragraph, since there are some useful information. Expected results: $ cat jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties # # Properties declaration of users for the realm 'ManagementRealm' which is the default realm # for new installations. Further authentication mechanism can be configured # as part of the <management /> in standalone.xml. # # Users can be added to this properties file at any time, updates after the server has started # will be automatically detected. # # By default the properties realm expects the entries to be in the format: - # username=HEX( MD5( username ':' realm ':' password)) # # A utility script is provided which can be executed from the bin folder to add the users: - # - Linux # bin/add-user.sh # # - Windows # bin\add-user.bat # #$REALM_NAME=ManagementRealm$ This line is used by the add-user utility to identify the realm name already used in this file. # # On start-up the server will also automatically add a user $local - this user is specifically # for local tools running against this AS installation. # admin=6b9d4d6d0293f023f66c51d8b70392d8 Additional info: Darran, can you please confirm that $REALM_NAME in these files is used only by add-user utility?
Issues for EAP 7 must be filed at https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEAP
For issues like this I would also say don't bother raising for EAP 7 - this is an area under active development and marked as deprecated in EAP 6.4.
