Java Reference
In-Depth Information
In order to create a new user, you need to provide the following information:
•
Type of user
: The type of user will be Management User, since it will manage the
application server.
•
Realm
: This must match the realm name used in the configuration, so unless you
have changed the configuration to use a different realm name, leave this set to
ManagementRealm
.
•
Username
: This is the username of the user you are adding.
•
Password
: This is the user's password.
•
User groups
: This is a list of comma-separated groups that should be assigned to
the newly created user; they are used for the role-based access control and audit-
ing system, which was introduced in WildFly. The information about user groups
is stored in the
mgmt-groups.properties
file.
If the validation is successful, you will be asked to confirm whether you want to add the
user; only then the
properties
files will be updated.
The final question (Is this new user going to be used to connect one AS process to anoth-
er?) can be used to
add the slave Host Controllers
that authenticate against a master do-
main controller. This, in turn, requires adding the secret key to your slave host's configur-
ation in order to authenticate with the master domain controller. (For more information
