      Don't use # or ; in your username or password.
      In some scenarios escaping them with \ also helps.

      1. Install EAP 7 on Windows Server using ZIP install.
      2. Create an admin user with the following credentials: Username: admin, password: 12#45
      3. As documented, download the jsvc download and setup a windows service with EAP_HOME/bin/service.bat, specifying the jboss user and password. e.g
        service.bat install /jbossuser admin /jbosspass 12#45 /loglevel info
      4. Start the service.
      5. Attempt to stop the service. The service will not stop.

    Description

      This was identified in Customer Case 01772273

      Using some special characters in a JBoss user's password (in this case a hash (#)), and then using that password to setup a windows service will result in the service not being able to stop. The service will start ok, but attempting to stop the service will not work.

      The # in the password is causing the issue. If a simpler password is used (e.g. abc12345), the service works ok.

      I haven't tried too many other special characters, but I assume that the problem is that the service script is not escaping some special characters properly...
