Custom properties files cannot be managed by add_user script
Last modified: 2014-06-18 03:04:59 EDT
JBoss EAP 6 documentation for security realms [1] should clarify that user created properties files are not managed by the add_user script or remove references that mention a user created properties file. List item 3 references a user supplied myfile.properties. 3. Create the references to the properties file which will store information about the new role. Run the following command to create a pointer a file named myfile.properties, which will contain the properties pertaining to the new role. /host=master/core-service=management/security-realm=MyDomainRealm/authentication=properties:add(path=myfile.properties) The Result section also mentions this file. Result Your new security realm is created. When you add users and roles to this new realm, the information will be stored in a separate file from the default security realms.

Added the following note in the relevant step: The newly-created properties file is not managed by the included <filename>add-user.sh</filename> and <filename>add-user.bat</filename> scripts. It must be managed externally. Also added the following sentence at the end of the Result: You can manage this new file using your own applications or procedures.
