We are using JBoss EAP 6.2 in domain mode in CLUSTER. We use the two instance that conform the cluster in the same machine in DEV and INT environment.

In production we use LDAP based identity store with each instance in a separate machine, but in DEV and INT we use file based identity store, we switch from one config to the other depending on the environment thanks to Apache Deltaspike @Exclude annotation.

We use this:
@Startup
@Singleton
@Exclude(ifProjectStage = Production.class)
public class IDMInitializer {

@Inject
private PartitionManager partitionManager;

/**

• <p>Initializes the identity store with some default users and roles.</p>
  */
  @PostConstruct
  public void createDefaultUsers() { createUser("administrador", ApplicationRole.ADMINISTRADOR); createUser("gestio", ApplicationRole.GESTIO); createUser("operacio", ApplicationRole.OPERACIO); }

private void createUser(String loginName, ApplicationRole roleName) {
IdentityManager identityManager = this.partitionManager.createIdentityManager();

User user = getUser(identityManager, loginName);

if (user == null)

{ user = new User(loginName); identityManager.add(user); Password password = new Password(loginName + "123"); identityManager.updateCredential(user, password); }

Role role = getRole(identityManager, roleName.name());

if (role == null)

{ role = new Role(roleName.name()); identityManager.add(role); }

RelationshipManager relationshipManager = this.partitionManager.createRelationshipManager();

if (!hasRole(relationshipManager, user, role))

{ grantRole(relationshipManager, user, role); }

}

}

In DEV and INT the IDM doesn't start because both instances try to write at the same time to /tmp/pl-idm where PL manages the databases.

We get this error:

Is the a way to manage this situation? If we use JPA based identity store there is no problem.
