[jboss] JBoss default password

What's the JBoss 5.x EAP default web console password?

This question is related to jboss

The answer is


I suggest visit Add digest auth in jmx-console and read oficial documentation for Configure admin consoles, you can add more security to your JBoss AS console and at these link explains where are the role and user/pass files that you need to change this information for your server and how you can change them. Also I recommend you quit all consoles that you don't use because they can affect to application server's performance. Also there are others links about securing jmx-console that could help you, search in jboss as community site for them (I can't put them here for my actual reputation,sorry). Never you should has the password in plain text over conf/props/ files.

Sorry for my bad English and I hope my answer be useful for you.


I just had to uncomment the line in jboss-eap-5.0\jboss-as\server\default\conf\props\jmx-console-users.properties

admin=admin

Thats it. Restart Jboss and I was about to get in to JBOSS JMX. Magically this even fixed the error that I used to get while shutting down Jboss from Eclipse.


I can also verify the above solution except I had to change in

**..\server\<server profile>\conf\props\jmx-console-users.properties**

If you are using Talend MDM Server, the login is: login: admin password: talend

See more: http://wiki.glitchdata.com/index.php?title=TOS:_Accessing_the_Talend_MDM_Server

This differs from the default JBoss login of admin/admin The password setup file is also login-config.xml in this case.


just commenting the line of user and password in file ./server/default/conf/props jmx-console-users.properties worked for me


Step 1:

jmx-console-users.properties 
admin=admin

Step 2:

jmx-console-roles.properties 
admin=JBossAdmin,HttpInvoker

Step 3: Restart or start the JBoss instance.

Now you should good to go...

Go to the jmx console, enter JBoss login URL, then enter admin as username and admin password.


as suggested in other posts, probably you don't have any user defined. it's not advisable to manually edit the configuration files. you should use the add-user (.sh or .cmd) utility as explained in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Getting_Started_with_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform_6.html#Add_the_Initial_User_for_the_Management_Interfaces
