[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-10861?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Rostislav Svoboda commented on WFLY-10861: ------------------------------------------ I looked now at http://localhost:9990/console and I didn't get redirected to the "help" page http://localhost:9990/error/index.html so I would be notified about adding user. But I knew what I have to do :) So I added user via {{bin/add-user.sh -s -u admin -p admin.password}}. Bu to my surprise the password wasn't working when accessing http://localhost:9990/console The only way is to restart the server. This is mess, PicketBox can handle this case, no need for restarts. So it's apparent that Elytron is caching the content of mgmt-users.properties. So I went ahead and removed previously defined user and tried {{curl -v --digest -u admin:admin.password http://localhost:9990/health}} I received valid HTTP/1.1 200 OK response instead of HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized. So server restart/reload is needed when Elytron is used. Another observation for PicketBox vs. Elytron is that Elytron is really verbose and curl output is long PicketBox case: {code} curl -v --digest -u admin:admin.password http://localhost:9990/health * Trying 127.0.0.1... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 9990 (#0) * Server auth using Digest with user 'admin' < HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Connection: keep-alive < Content-Type: application/json < Content-Length: 28 < Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2018 07:47:49 GMT < * Connection #0 to host localhost left intact {"outcome":"UP","checks":[]} {code} Elytron case: {code} curl -v --digest -u admin:admin.password http://localhost:9990/health * Trying 127.0.0.1... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 9990 (#0) * Server auth using Digest with user 'admin' < HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized < Connection: keep-alive < WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="ManagementRealm", nonce="AAAAAQAAf0XcSniUDNEXtFMgcKlU5y/vgWnDOsCf5tVMn4HVemjLJnxHJSA=", opaque="00000000000000000000000000000000", algorithm=MD5, qop=auth < Content-Length: 77 < Content-Type: text/html < Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2018 07:46:32 GMT < * Ignoring the response-body * Connection #0 to host localhost left intact * Issue another request to this URL: 'http://localhost:9990/health' * Found bundle for host localhost: 0x7fa212806370 [can pipeline] * Re-using existing connection!
