13.3. Alternative Properties Files for User Management Information

Overview

By default, user and role information created using the add-user.sh script is stored in properties files located in the server configuration directory. The server configuration information is stored in the EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/ directory and the domain configuration information is stored in the EAP_HOME/domain/configuration/ directory. This topic describes how to override the default file names and locations.

Procedure 13.2. Alternative Properties Files

    • To specify an alternative directory for the server configuration, use the -sc argument. This argument specifies an alternative directory that will contain the server configuration properties files.
    • To specify an alternative directory for the domain configuration, use the -dc argument. This argument specifies an alternative directory that will contain the domain configuration properties files.
    • To specify an alternative user configuration properties file, use the -up or --user-properties argument. It can an absolute path or it can be a file name used in conjunction with the -sc or -dc argument that specifies the alternative configuration directory.
    • To specify an alternative group configuration properties file, use the -gp or --group-properties argument. It can an absolute path or it can be a file name used in conjunction with the -sc or -dc argument that specifies the alternative configuration directory.
Note
The add-user command is intended to operate on existing properties files. Any alternative properties files specified in command line arguments must exist or you will see the following error:
