I am trying to deploy my war archive on 8.0.0 final jboss redhat RPM. Everything was working fine until I tried to enable my security options. I have added both <ssl> tag and <trustore> tag under SecurityRealm. In addition I added an <https-listener> and enabled the https-management console. I've added a controller to jboss-cli.xml as follows: <controllers> <controller name="MyHttpsController"> <protocol>https-remoting</protocol> <host>myHost</host> <port>myPort</port> </controller> </controllers> I'm executing the jboss server process by runnning the standalone.sh script and then I'm trying to deploy my war by using the following line: ./jboss-cli.sh --connect=MyHttpsController command="deploy [myWarPath] " I get the following error: The controller is not available at myIp:myPort: java.net.ConnectException: .....The connection timed out I can open the https-management console via the browser and I checked that my server is actually listening to this port. Please help my if you can, this is very important. I appreciate all help you can give me. Thanks all, Michael
