Hi, There seems to be an inconsistent behavior in the AbstractKernelController. My test case code: ======================================================================== = prepareTestDynamicLoginConfig(server, new ObjectName("jboss:service=TestDynamicLoginConfig"), null); try { server.invoke(serviceOName,"create", new Object[0], new String[0]); server.invoke(serviceOName,"start", new Object[0], new String[0]); fail("Service should not have started"); } catch(Throwable t) { log.debug("Service has rightly disagreed to start",t); } ======================================================================== Is failing now because the MC instead of throwing an exception(unable to start a service), is only logging the error as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------ 14:50:19,015 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=jb oss:service=TestDynamicLoginConfig state=Create mode=Manual requiredState=Installed java.lang.IllegalStateException: AuthConfig is defaulting to conf/login-config.xml.
