Installation

In this section, we will go through the steps to install WildFly.

  1. Download the distribution file from the official WildFly website (and file hash if applicable).
  2. Check file integrity using file hash.
    2020-02-10 15:26:04	INFO	Checking distribution source files
    DEBUG: No reference file found in C:\WKFS\Scripts\wildfly-deploy\res\checksum
    DEBUG: C:\WKFS\Sources\wildfly-17.0.1.Final.zip.sha1
    DEBUG: Reference checksum:    6d3dd603eb3e177c6e7e06c649997ec182445789
    DEBUG: Distribution checksum: 6D3DD603EB3E177C6E7E06C649997EC182445789
    2020-02-10 15:26:04	CHECK	Distribution file integrity check successful
    
  3. Expand archive to target location.
    2020-02-10 15:26:04	INFO	Extracting WildFly to "C:\WKFS\WildFly"
    DEBUG: Using native PowerShell v5.0 Expand-Archive function
    DEBUG: Expand archive to "C:\WKFS\WildFly"
    
  4. Set JBOSS_HOME environment variable.
    2020-02-10 15:32:08	INFO	Configuring "JBOSS_HOME" environment variable
    DEBUG: Machine	JBOSS_HOME=C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final
    

WildFly application server is now installed and ready to use. However, it has not been configured and is thus using the default parametrisation.

Configuration

In this section, we will go through the steps to configure WildFly.

  1. Configure Java Virtual Machine.
    2020-02-10 15:32:08	INFO	Configuring Java options
    DEBUG: set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms8G -Xmx14G -XX:MetaspaceSize=1G -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=8G"
    2020-02-10 15:32:08	CHECK	Java options configured successfully
    
  2. Configure application server interfaces.

    2020-02-10 15:32:08	CHECK	Port numbers configured successfully
    

Windows Service

In this section, we will go through the steps to install WildFly as a Windows service.

  1. Copy the service files to the binaries directory
    2020-02-10 15:32:08	INFO	Configuring WildFly service
    DEBUG: "17.0.1" -lt "10.0.0"
    DEBUG: Copy files from C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\docs\contrib\scripts\service to C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\bin
    
  2. Configure service parameters (service.bat)
    DEBUG: 114	set SHORTNAME=WildFly17
    DEBUG: 115	rem NO quotes around the display name here !
    DEBUG: 116	set DISPLAYNAME=WildFly17

    DEBUG: 134	set BASE=
    DEBUG: 135
    
  3. Install Windows service.
    2020-02-10 15:32:09	INFO	Installing WildFly service
    DEBUG: cmd.exe /c "C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\bin\service\service.bat" install /startup

    Service WildFly17 installed
    
  4. Start Windows service.
    2020-02-10 15:32:09	INFO	Starting WildFly service (WildFly17)
    DEBUG: & "C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\bin\jboss-cli.ps1" --connect --controller='UKWS04282-01:9991' --command=':read-attribute(name=server-state)'

WildFly is now installed as a Windows service that can be easily managed.

Security

In this section, we will go through the steps to manage the security settings of WildFly.

  1. Create administration role.
    2020-02-10 15:32:22	INFO	Creating Administrator role
    DEBUG: & "C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\bin\jboss-cli.ps1" --connect --controller='UKWS04282-01:9991' --command='/core-service=management/access=authorization/role-mapping=Administrator:add()'
    DEBUG: {"outcome" => "success"}
    2020-02-10 15:32:25	CHECK	Administrator security role has been successfully created
    
  2. Create administration user.
    2020-02-10 15:32:25	INFO	Add user admin to management realm
    DEBUG: & "C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\bin\add-user.ps1" --user "admin" --password "*******" --realm "ManagementRealm" --group "Administrators"
    DEBUG: Updated user 'admin' to file 'C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\standalone\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
    Updated user 'admin' to file 'C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\domain\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
    Updated user 'admin' with groups Administrators to file 'C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\standalone\configuration\mgmt-groups.properties'
    Updated user 'admin' with groups Administrators to file 'C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\domain\configuration\mgmt-groups.properties'
    2020-02-10 15:32:27	CHECK	User admin successfully added
    
  3. Grant standard security role "Administrator" to the administration user group.
    2020-02-10 15:32:27	INFO	Grant role Administrator to user group Administrators
    DEBUG: & "C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\bin\jboss-cli.ps1" --connect --controller='UKWS04282-01:9991' --command='/core-service=management/access=authorization/role-mapping=Administrator/include=group-Administrators:add(name=Administrators,type=GROUP)'
    DEBUG: {"outcome" => "success"}
    2020-02-10 15:32:30	CHECK	Administrator security role has been successfully granted
    
  4. Enable role-based access control security model (RBAC).
    2020-02-10 15:32:30	INFO	Enabling role-based access control security model
    DEBUG: & "C:\WKFS\WildFly\wildfly-17.0.1.Final\bin\jboss-cli.ps1" --connect --controller='UKWS04282-01:9991' --user='admin' --password='*******' --command='/core-service=management/access=authorization:write-attribute(name=provider,value=rbac)'
    DEBUG: {
        "outcome" => "success",
        "response-headers" => {
            "operation-requires-reload" => true,
            "process-state" => "reload-required"
        }
    }
    2020-02-10 15:32:35	CHECK	RBAC security model has been successfully enabled
    

WildFly security model is now configured and you can access the management console using the administration account.
