Add-user.sh

• Adding Users to WildFly Security Realms

Configuring add-user.sh to Interact with Other Storage than standalone/configuration and domain/configuration

Call add-user.sh with the following flags:

-sc <dir> Define the location the server config directory.

-dc <dir> Define the location of the domain config directory.

Similar effects could be obtained by manipulating JAVA_OPTS as follows:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS \
-Djboss.server.config.user.dir=../standalone/configuration \
-Djboss.domain.config.user.dir=../domain/configuration"

For details on how to create a dedicated wrapper for a custom profile, see [WildFly Isolated Self-Contained Standalone Profile].

Debug add-user.sh

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=y"
