|
=== Start the {{book.appserver.name}} CLI
|
|
Besides editing the configuration by hand, you also have the option of changing
|
|
the configuration by issuing commands via the _jboss-cli_ tool. CLI allows
|
|
you to configure servers locally or remotely. And it is especially useful when
|
|
combined with scripting.
|
|
|
|
To start the {{book.appserver.name}} CLI, you need to run `jboss-cli`.
|
|
|
|
.Linux/Unix
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
$ .../bin/jboss-cli.sh
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
.Windows
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
> ...\bin\jboss-cli.bat
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This will bring you to a prompt like this:
|
|
|
|
.Prompt
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
[disconnected /]
|
|

|
|
|
|
If you wish to execute commands on a running server, you will first
|
|
execute the `connect` command.
|
|
|
|
.connect
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
[disconnected /] connect
|
|
connect
|
|
[standalone@localhost:9990 /]
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
You may be thinking to yourself, "I didn't enter in any username or password!". If you run `jboss-cli` on the same machine
|
|
as your running standalone server or domain controller and your account has appropriate file permissions, you do not have
|
|
to setup or enter in a admin username and password. See the link:{{book.appserver.admindoc.link}}[_{{book.appserver.admindoc.name}}_]
|
|
for more details on how to make things more secure if you are uncomfortable with that setup.
|
|
|
|
=== CLI Embedded Mode
|
|
|
|
If you do happen to be on the same machine as your standalone server and you want to
|
|
issue commands while the server is not active, you can embed the server into CLI and make
|
|
changes in a special mode that disallows incoming requests. To do this, first
|
|
execute the `embed` command with the config file you wish to change.
|
|
|
|
.embed
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
[disconnected /] embed-server --server-config=standalone.xml
|
|
[standalone@embedded /]
|

|
|
|
|
=== CLI GUI Mode
|
|
|
|
The CLI can also run in GUI mode. GUI mode launches a Swing application that
|
|
allows you to graphically view and edit the entire management model of a _running_ server.
|
|
GUI mode is especially useful when you need help formatting your CLI commands and learning
|
|
about the options available. The GUI can also retrieve server logs from a local or
|
|
remote server.
|
|
|
|
.Start in GUI mode
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
$ .../bin/jboss-cli.sh --gui
|
|
----
|
|
_Note: to connect to a remote server, you pass the `--connect` option as well.
|
|
Use the --help option for more details._
|
|
|
|
After launching GUI mode, you will probably want to scroll down to find the node,
|
|
`subsystem=keycloak-server`. If you right-click on the node and click
|
|
`Explore subsystem=keycloak-server`, you will get a new tab that shows only
|
|
the keycloak-server subsystem.

|
|
=== CLI Scripting
|
|
|
|
The CLI has extensive scripting capabilities. A script is just a text
|
|
file with CLI commands in it. Consider a simple script that turns off theme
|
|
and template caching.
|
|
|
|
.turn-off-caching.cli
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
/subsystem=keycloak-server/theme=defaults/:write-attribute(name=cacheThemes,value=false)
|
|
/subsystem=keycloak-server/theme=defaults/:write-attribute(name=cacheTemplates,value=false)
|
|
----
|
|
To execute the script, I can follow the `Scripts` menu in CLI GUI, or execute the
|
|
script from the command line as follows:
|
|
[source]
|
|
----
|
|
$ .../bin/jboss-cli.sh --file=turn-off-caching.cli
|
