Hi there
I am trying to run integration tests for my JEE application in a Payara Micro server inside Docker. In order to test, I need a couple of users in different groups. For that I thought I could use some asadmin commands in a post-boot-command script, but I have run into some problems.
I have recorded the user creation in the admin console where I created two users with empty passwords (this is just an integration test, so empty passwords are fine). My Dockerfile is like this:
and post-boot-commands.txt is:
Nice and simple :) However, this will not run, I get this error twice:
So apparently I cannot use empty passwords(?)
I then added a password.txt file:
and changed post-boot-commands.txt to:
but now I get this error:
Apparently the keyfile is missing, but when i do an ls in the config directory listed in the error message, it contains an empty keyfile.
I apologize if this is just because I am a Payara noob, but I would really appreciate some help on this simple task: adding two users :)

Apparently this has nothing to do with Docker.
There is a bug in Payara Micro which I have now reported.

Hi,
In Payara Micro, when you use commands that require a password, you need to provide the password via a password file because Payara Micro can't ask for a password interactively. I've written a blog post about using password files in scripts with Payara Server and it applies also to Payara Micro for commands executed from command files: https://itblog.inginea.eu/index.php/configure-passwords-in-payara-server-and-glassfish/
On thing to note is that asadmin commands can be executed in different points during startup:
- after Payara Micro is started but before the server is ready - these are commands in a prebootcommandfile
- after Payara Micro server is ready but before applications are deployed - these are commands in a postbootcommandsfile
- after applications are deployed - these are commands in a postdeploycommandfile
Only few commands work when in a prebootcommandfile. Most commands work in a postbootcommandfile. But still some require applications to be deployed and work only in a postdeploycommandfile.
It's not yet documented which commands work in which command file because it would be a tedious task to find it out and document.
It seems that there's a bug in Payara Micro that requires that the command create-file-user is executed from a postdeploycommandfile while there's no obvious reason for that. Another workaround is to modify payara-micro.jar and create an empty file MICRO-INF/domain/keyfile in the JAR.
