Instead of the normal ports 8080/9990 I have 8180/10090 , because in standalone.xml I have specified in socket-binding-group a jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:100

So I try with

./jboss-cli.sh --controller=localhost:10090

and I get a beautiful

[standalone@localhost:10090 /]

If you look in jboss-cli.xml you see that the default controller is configured in it:

<!-- The default controller to connect to when 'connect' command is executed w/o arguments -->
    <default-controller>
        <protocol>remote+http</protocol>
        <host>localhost</host>
        <port>9990</port>
    </default-controller>

If I change 9990 to 10090, I can seamlessly connect without having to specify the --controller=localhost:10090

Remarkable also the .jbossclirc file. "# WildFly (JBoss) CLI will execute commands from this file before
# the command line session (interactive or not) will start."


Regarding the message "Unable to read the logging configuration from 'file:/d/apps/wildfly12/bin/jboss-cli-logging.properties' ", I have it only when running the jboss-cli.sh in git bash.... if I run jboss-cli.bat I don't have the problem. Most likely it's due to the fact that in git bash the $JBOSS_HOME is rendered as file:/d/apps/wildfly12/ , and Java can't handle this... welcome to the messy world of Windows...


It seems also that the TAB autocomplete is not working under git bash.... I am switching permanently to a DOS console.... how sad..



Useful CLI:

#dump elytron configuration
/subsystem=elytron:read-resource(recursive=true)

#dump logger configuration
/subsystem=logging/console-handler=CONSOLE:read-resource

#add a filesystem-realm and add a user
#see https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY/WildFly+Elytron+Security#WildFlyElytronSecurity-ConfigureAuthenticationwithaFilesystemBasedIdentityStore

/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm:add(path=fs-realm-users,relative-to=jboss.server.config.dir)
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm/:add-identity(identity=user1)
cd subsystem=elytron
cd filesystem-realm=exampleFsRealm
:set-password(identity=user1,clear={password="password123"})

#(this creates a file user1-OVZWK4RR.xml with inside 'identity xmlns="urn:elytron:1.0"' )
