wildfly - accessing the admin console

Question

I'm new to wildfly and am following the documentation on how to get everything set up. I've added a user by running the add-user.bat script, but the administration console page is still telling me I haven't - even though trying to re-add the same user results in the cmd line telling me that the user already exists.

The wildfly documentation, and other guides, make it out to be simple : I'm not sure what I could possibly have missed. I set up the user as a management user, didn't make them belong to any groups, didn't change the realm and answered no to the last question I don't understand.

I also restarted Wildfly and my PC.

Is there any file I should look in to see if the user is correctly set up?

I assume it's mgmt-users.properties - but the user doesn't exist in that file.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

If anyone suffers from a similar problem I've discovered that this is a bug in WildFly 11.

I'm sure this is probably a pretty narrow problem, but swapping the directory for WildFly 10 fixes the issues of not being able to connect to the admin console and not being able to add users.
