Darran Lofthouse commented on AS7-2757:
---------------------------------------

Yes this would be a useful issue so that users can use the same script to update passwords.

Not sure if you are familiar with the script implementation but the utility is implemented as a set of states in the following class: -
  org.jboss.as.domain.management.security.AddPropertiesUser

Any updates should maintain the use of states but there is already a state to check for duplicate users so that could be a useful starting point.

Another class that you may find useful is 'org.jboss.as.domain.management.security.PropertiesFileLoader' this contains a currently unused method to re-write a properties file replacing the users details, as it is currently unused it may need some additional testing but is a probably candidate to pull out somehow for re-use.

> Within the add-user utility add a check for existing users and if the user does exist ask the user to confirm if they want to update the password of that user.
