Management Realm Configuration Files

The security information is maintained in flat files. The files are configured with <security-realm><authentication><properties> configuration element and their location is relative to , which could be $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration or $JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration, depending on the mode WildFly is run in (standalone or domain). For more details, see jboss.server.config.dir. The files can be modified at any time, updates after the server has started will be automatically detected.
