Chapter 3. Adding a Remote Console User

Abstract

The server's remote command console is not configured with a default user. Before you can connect to the server's console remotely, you must add a user to the configuration.
Red Hat JBoss A-MQ is not installed with a default user for the remote console. Before you can remotely manage a server, you must add a user by editing InstallDir/etc/users.properties.
