This tutotial will show how to enable Wildfly remote access, so you can manage your application server remotely as you would at the local machine it is running on.

The Problem

I believe that everyone is very used to install Wildfly on your local machine running a operation system with GUI and a web browsers available. So, when you need to log on Wildfly’s administrative page at http://localhost:8080/ to manage your application server for, by example, adding users or adding datasources, everything works as expected.
However, if your Wildfly is running on a remote machine and you try to access your administrative page through the network by it’s IP address or hostname, let’s say, at http://54.94.240.170:8080/, you will probably see a graceful This webpage is not available error, in another words, Wildfly said “No, thanks, I’m not allowing requests from another guys than the ones at my local machine”.

This tutorial will show how to add a user to Wildfly, so that this new user can manage the application server.
