Issue/Introduction
After restarting the AdminUI, even though the process is getting started, the AdminUI is inaccessible. Re-registering the AdminUI has no effect. The server.log shows the following lines at the start time:

Environment
AdminUI all versions
Resolution
This can happen when JBoss cannot deploy the ear files needed due to not having enough permissions on the files. First, check if under your /siteminder/adminui/standalone/deployments folder you have the following files along with the .ear files:
iam_siteminder.ear
castylesr5.1.1.ear
iam_siteminder.ear.undeployed
castylesr5.1.1.ear.undeployed
Having them means the JBoss scanner could not deploy them before, so stop AdminUI and ensure the user running AdminUI has enough permissions (W/R) over all the standalone folder trees. Then, remove the .undeployed files, leaving only the .ear files in the folder:
castylesr5.1.1.ear
iam_siteminder.ear
And then, create the following files (use the "touch" command for this) to indicate to the JBoss scanner to deploy them:
# touch castylesr5.1.1.ear.dodeploy
# touch iam_siteminder.ear.dodeploy
So, in the folder, the following files along with the readme one will be seen: castylesr5.1.1.ear:
iam_siteminder.ear
iam_siteminder.ear.dodeploy
castylesr5.1.1.ear.dodeploy
When starting the AdminUI standalone next time, it will try to deploy them again, and the logs should show that with the following entries:
2018-02-23 10:49:24,265 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-1) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "iam_siteminder.ear" (runtime-name: "iam_siteminder.ear")
2018-02-23 10:49:24,267 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-2) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "castylesr5.1.1.ear" (runtime-name: "castylesr5.1.1.ear")
After that, AdminUI will start properly, and the extension of the files we created in the deployments folder will change from .dodeploy to .deployed to indicate the scanner that, and you are now able to access through the normal URL or to complete the registration process.
