Description Steffen Steinhoff 2012-01-10 15:45:59 UTC 
Description of problem: 

Incomplete documentation.

I think in chapter 2.1.4 ("Users and Roles") a vital further step is missing. In the file JBOSS_HOME/server/PROFILE/conf/props/jmx-console-roles.properties permissions must be granted to the users entered in JBOSS_HOME/server/PROFILE/conf/props/jmx-console-users.properties analogical to step 3 for the file web-console-roles.properties ("username=JBossAdmin,HttpInvoker"). Leaving this out, the Admin Console does not appear after entering the proper credentials in the Admin Console login page.

Comment 2 Russell Dickenson 2012-01-30 03:45:44 UTC 
I have added a step for editing the jmx-console-users.properties file after consulting James Livingston. I have also moved the "Disabling Authentication" section so that it's not in the middle of *Enabling* Authentication.

Having committed those changes I now need to wait for the document to be re-Brew-ed.

The corrected document is now available: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/5/html-single/Admin_Console_User_Guide/index.html

The extra step was added to section "2.1.3 Users and Roles". Section "2.1.4 Disable Authentication" was moved.
