In master slave architecture, drop down menu consisting start/stop and other options are not showing for jvm instances running on another VM or host when rbac is enabled on JBoss EAP

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 7.2.4
    • 7.2.5

Issue

  • In EAP 7.2.4 master slave architecture , all options are not available in the drop down menu for those JVM instances which are running on another host or VM while using rbac.
  • Starts, Stop, Suspend, Restart and other options are not showing in the management console for JVM instances running on different host in EAP 7.2.4 when using rbac. The drop down menu of the server instance has only one option Edit URL.
  • We can not see the link to stop/start a server in runtime->topology tab
  • We have EAP7 in domain mode with several server groups. We have updated to 7.2.4 version and now we can not see the links to stop/start a server in runtime->topology tab in EAP Console. Before the update, with version 7.2.3, we had not problems with this.
  • The JBoss domain was updated to 7.2.5, but in the web console, for each of the instances the options of reload, restart, destroy, kill, etc. are no longer displayed. The domain is configured with RBAC and the user has an administrator role.

Resolution

This is a known bug that will be fixed in EAP 7.2.8. Users can check This content is not included.JBEAP-18012 for this bug.

Root Cause

Diagnostic Steps

  • Go to Admin Console --> Runtime --> Hosts --> Host Name (Slave) --> JVM (server) --> Click on Drop down option associated with View button. You can see only Edit URL option is showing. Others option like kill, destroy, start, stop etc are not available.
  • The same issue is not observed when master and slave nodes are running on the same VM with rbac enabled
