Answer 1

1. go to JBOSS_HOME\bin, run the add-user script, add an Management User

   What type of user do you wish to add?

   a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)

   b) Application User (application-users.properties)

   (a): a

   Enter the details of the new user to add.

   Realm (ManagementRealm) : ManagementRealm

   Username : yourname

   Password : yourpassword

2. you will get an secret value after you add the user successfully

   To represent the user add the following to the server-identities definition <secret value="*somevalue*" />
   

3. add this secret to the JBOSS_HOME\domain\configuration\host.xml

   <security-realm name="ManagementRealm">
       <authentication>
           <local default-user="$local" />
           <properties path="mgmt-users.properties" relative-to="jboss.domain.config.dir"/>
       </authentication>
       <server-identities>
           <secret value="*somevalue*" />
       </server-identities>
   </security-realm> 
   

4. you can login to the admin console use that new added username and password

Answer 2

You need to add a user to access the admin console in JBoss, to do so..

1. go to JBOSS_HOME\bin
2. run the add-user script
3. add as a management user.

You are ready to go and access the admin console at http://{localhost:9990}. Hope it helps.

Answer 3

As mentioned before, there is no default value, you just have to create it by Invoking the add-user.sh or add-user.bat script.

Here you will find the documentation from Redhat... which is basically what the above answers stated... I would like just to highlight the step 3 on the documentation:

3. Choose the realm for the user.

The next prompt refers to the realm where the user will be added. For a user with permissions to manage JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, choose the default, which is ManagementRealm.

If you need access to the console, just leave the default realm.
