14.3. Standalone Realm Properties File

The default JAAS realm used by a standalone container is implemented by the PropertiesLoginModule JAAS module. This login module stores its user data in a Java properties file in the following location:

InstallDir/etc/users.properties

InstallDir/etc/users.properties

Each entry in the etc/users.properties file has the following format (on its own line):

Username=Password,Role1,Role2,...

Username=Password,Role1,Role2,...

The etc/users.properties file initially contains a commented out entry for a single user, smx, with password smx and role admin. It is strongly recommended that you create a new user entry that is different from the smx user example.

For example, you could create a new user in the following format:

Username=Password,admin

Username=Password,admin

Where the admin role grants full administration privileges to this user.
