Chapter 7. Configuring User Accounts

Procedure 7.1. Add a New User

1. Open the soa-users.properties file in a text editor: vi SOA_ROOT/jboss-as/server/PROFILE/conf/props/soa-users.properties. Add the user's name and password on a new line, using this syntax: username=password.
   Here is an example for a user with the login name "Harold":

   harold=@dm1nU53r
   

   Note

   Any line in this file that begins with a hash (#) is ignored. (You can use this convention to temporarily disable a user account.)
2. Save the changes to the file and exit the text editor.
3. Open the soa-roles.properties file in a text editor: vi SOA_ROOT/jboss-as/server/PROFILE/conf/props/soa-roles.properties. Add the user and the roles you wish to assign to them on a new line, using this syntax: username=role1,role2,role3.

   harold=JBossAdmin,HttpInvoker,user,admin
   

   Note

   You can assign any number of roles. Note that a user must be assigned the JBossAdmin, HttpInvoker, user and admin roles in order to be able to log into the server consoles.

   Any line in this file that begins with a hash (#) is ignored. You can use this convention to temporarily disable user roles.
4. Save the changes to the file and exit the text editor.

Procedure 7.2. Disable a User's Account

1. Open the soa-users.properties file in a text editor: vi SOA_ROOT/jboss-as/server/PROFILE/conf/props/soa-users.properties. Either delete the entire line containing the user's name and password or simply put a hash (#) in front of it to "comment it out."
   Here is an example for a user with the login name "Harold":

   #harold=@dm1nU53r
   

2. Save the changes to the file and exit the text editor.
