Issue

• When installing JBoss from a kickstart script the jboss user is being created, even if it is defined in an IPA.

Resolution

• Perform either of the following:

  1. Remove jboss from the package list and add the following in your postscript, after the IdM server has been added:

     # yum groupinstall jboss-eap6
     

  2. Add an authconfig in your kickstart file to point to your IdM server. This is documented at Kickstart Options

Root Cause

• The IPA was defined in the post portion of the kickstart; while the JBoss packages were defined in the package list. Due to this configuration JBoss was being installed before the IPA was referenced.

Diagnostic Steps

• Installed the JBoss RPMs when this user was defined in an IPA and did not recreate the issue.
• Tested reproducing this error using the kickstart file locally.
