Overview

This procedure is part of WildFly Unzip Installation. Once completed, return to WildFly Unzip Installation to continue the post-install procedure.

host.xml Host Name

A subordinate host controller uses its host name as username when authenticating against the Management Realm of the domain controller, so the host name it is configured with is important. The host name can be hardcoded in host.xml or specified as a system property. For more details see:

host.xml host name

Specify the Master Domain Controller

Modify $JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration/host.xml as follows: 

    ...
    <domain-controller>
       <remote host="1.2.3.4" port="${jboss.domain.master.port:9999}" security-realm="ManagementRealm"/>
    </domain-controller>
    ...

Note that the management functionality can be exposed over 9999 or 9990.

It is possible to expose the master domain controller address externally as 'jboss.domain.master.address' system property. In this case, you'd have to add the following to domain.conf: 

HOST_CONTROLLER_JAVA_OPTS="${HOST_CONTROLLER_JAVA_OPTS} -Djboss.domain.master.address=1.2.3.4"

However, this is NOT a good idea. If we go through a domain controller failover, promotion and unpromotion, the IP address will be written into the host.xml file directly, so the 'jboss.domain.master.address' will lose its usefulness and it will suddenly become confusing - we used a system property but also we have hardcode in the file.

For more details on jboss.domain.master.address see:

jboss.domain.master.address

Connection Failure Symptoms

In $JBOSS_HOME/domain/log/host-controller.log:

The Host Controller's Management Interface

A subordinate host controller does not need to expose its management interface.

Specify the Backup Domain Controllers

WildFly High Availability Domain Controller

Configure the Host Controller's Identity on the Domain Controller

Symptoms of Failure to Authenticate with the Domain Controller

22:40:23,855 WARN  [org.jboss.as.host.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS010900: Could not connect to remote domain controller at remote://10.155.78.202:9999 -- java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBAS010942: Unable to connect due to authentication failure.
