Adding new user for jbpm-console access


I downloaded the source code for the full final installation of JBPM version 6.0.0. I was able to build the source with the ant build tool from within the jbpm_install directory using the command "ant install.demo". Jboss starts up fine and I am able to bring up the KIE Workbench signon page via the http://localhost:8080/jbpm-console URL. I cannot log in though. I'm familar with the add-user.sh script and tried adding a new user this way with the kie-server role, but no luck. I also fooled with the Jboss related user/role config files within the jbpm_install/jboss... directory, then rebuilt and redeployed, but still no luck. Right now I'm just using the default h2 database. Any help or direction is appreciated.


Solution

  • You do not have the right role. kie-server is a role for a user who connects to KIE Server through remote APIs. In order to log into the jBPM Console (or KIE Workbench), you need to have a user with one of these roles: admin, developer, analyst, manager or user. Look at section 9.4. Configuration of the jBPM documentation.

    And if I may suggest, try to use the latest version 6.4.0.Final. The version you are using is really old and full of bugs.
