In order to perform any S-RAMP operations (including both read and write operations) a valid user must be authenticated. The specific details regarding how to create and manage the list of allowed users will vary depending on the runtime configuration. This guide will focus on the mechanisms supported by the S-RAMP community installer.

Tip

Please note that the installer creates a single user (named admin) during the installation process.

There are several roles that the user must have in order to interact with the S-RAMP repository. These roles are as follows:

  • overlorduser : users must have this role in order to access the S-RAMP user interface (browser)
  • admin.sramp : users must have this role in order to access the S-RAMP repository (both read and write)

Tip

if the ModeShape repository name is changed, the above admin.sramp role would need to reflect that change.

By default S-RAMP uses the standard EAP Application Realm configuration as its authentication source. This means that adding users is a simple matter of using the existing EAP add-user script. If you are running on Windows you can use the add-user.bat script. Otherwise run the add-user.sh script. Both of these scripts can be found in EAP’s bin directory.

Here is an example of how to add an S-RAMP user using the add-user.sh script:

[user@host jboss-eap-6.x]$ pwd
/home/user/FSW6/jboss-eap-6.x
[user@host jboss-eap-6.x]$ ./bin/add-user.sh

What type of user do you wish to add?
 a) Management User (mgmt-users.properties)
 b) Application User (application-users.properties)
(a): b

Enter the details of the new user to add.
Realm (ApplicationRealm) : ApplicationRealm

Is this correct yes/no? yes
Added user 'fitzuser' to file '/home/user/FSW6/jboss-eap-6.x/standalone/configuration/application-users.properties'
Added user 'fitzuser' to file '/home/user/FSW6/jboss-eap-6.x/domain/configuration/application-users.properties'

e.g. for a slave host controller connecting to the master or for a Remoting connection for server to server EJB calls.
yes/no? no
