Issue/Introduction

This article details the steps to create an administrative user for the Wildfly/JBoss Management Console. This access is required to configure data sources and drivers within the CA Identity Manager (IDM) User Interface when the error "You have not yet added any users to be able to access the admin console" appears.

Environment

Identity Manager 14.5

Cause

The Wildfly/JBoss management interface does not include default users for security purposes. An administrator must explicitly add a user to the ManagementRealm before the console can be accessed.

Resolution

1. For Windows Environments:

   1. Ensure JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME (or WILDFLY_HOME) are set as system environment variables pointing to your installation directories.
   2. Open a Command Prompt and navigate to the bin directory of your Wildfly/JBoss installation.
   3. Execute the add-user.bat script.
   4. Select (a) Management User when prompted.
   5. Enter the required username and password.
   6. When prompted "Is this correct yes/no?", type yes.
   7. Restart the JBoss/Wildfly service for changes to take effect.

   For Linux/Virtual Appliance Environments:

   1. Navigate to the bin directory of your Wildfly/JBoss installation (e.g., /opt/CA/wildfly/bin).
   2. Execute the add-user.sh script: ./add-user.sh
   3. Select (a) Management User when prompted.
   4. Enter the required username and password.
   5. When prompted "Is this correct yes/no?", type yes.
   6. Restart the service to apply changes.

   Accessing the Console:

   • Once the user is created, navigate to http://<hostname>:9990/console to log in using the newly created credentials.
