Access the management console from another machine

In case you wish to access the management console from another machine, follow these steps:

  • Modify the WildFly standalone configuration file at /opt/bitnami/wildfly/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml as shown below.

      <interface name="management">
          <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:0.0.0.0}"/>
      </interface>
    
  • Edit the WildFly virtual hosts files /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts/wildfly-http-vhost.conf and /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts/wildfly-http-vhost.conf to remove the block below:

      <Location /console>
        Require local
        ErrorDocument 403 "For security reasons, Administration Console will be only available if you access it using 127.0.0.1 (localhost)"
      </Location>
    
  • Open the management console port (9990) in the firewall.

  • Restart your servers for the changes to take effect.

      $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart
    

You should now be able to access the WildFly console from another host.
