JBoss default password

Question

What's the JBoss 5.x EAP default web console password?

Answer 1

The default credentials are:

login: admin password: admin 

But if you use EAP these credentials are turned off by default and there is no active user (security reasons :)). If you want to turn on these users, you have to edit the following file in your current profile: ./deploy/management/console-mgr.sar/web-console.war/WEB-INF/classes/web-console-users.properties. It should be enough to remove the # sign from the line with the user.

If you want to create a new user, don't forget to set up the correct groups in web-console-roles.properties file.

You can easily find information where these information are stored: just open the ./conf/login-config.xml file and find the proper security domain definition. In the case of the Web Console application, it will be web-console policy.

Also if you want to have access to JMX, you have unlock JMX Console. Just check the following files in the conf/props/ directory (in your profile): jmx-console-users.properties and jmx-console-roles.properties.

Answer 2

I just had to uncomment the line in jboss-eap-5.0\jboss-as\server\default\conf\props\jmx-console-users.properties

admin=admin 

Thats it. Restart Jboss and I was about to get in to JBOSS JMX. Magically this even fixed the error that I used to get while shutting down Jboss from Eclipse.
