I am not sure which JMS example you are using. The only use of the user/password of john/needle that I could find was for some of the JMS tests. It appears that for those specific tests, a database login module is used, so the account information is stored in the database. To add new accounts, you would have to update the database. In the JMS source, the files src/etc/server/default/*-persistence-service.xml contains the SQL statements that populate the database with several accounts. You can follow those to create new accounts (and don't forget to add the accounts to the roles!) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4144286#...
