Major Using special characters in e.g. Infinispan Name, Local Cache Name or Security-domain name leads to Post Processing Error during "Starting process Starting domain host.xml" phase, installation fails. Seems like EAP can deal with special characters (standalone works fine, I am able to manage server resources containing special characters without issues), I assume there is some problem in Installer codebase which is dealing with the hosts configuration.
reproduce:
java -jar jboss-eap-7.0.0.ER7-installer.jar -console ... 1 [ ] Install password vault 2 [ ] Enable SSL security 3 [ ] Enable LDAP authentication 4 [ ] Install Infinispan Cache 5 [x] Add a security-domain 6 [ ] Install quickstarts 7 [ ] Configure server port bindings 8 [ ] Configure logging levels 9 [ ] Install JDBC Driver Press 0 to confirm your selections Input Selection: 0 ... Security-domain name [mySecurityDomain] 123!@#$%^ ...
