Creating Users in JBoss EAP

JBoss EAP provides an extensive application for creating, deploying, and managing Java-based applications. As such, systems administrators, developers, and others in the application space will need access to JBoss and the JBoss management portal. In this hands-on lab, we use the provided `add-user` script to add, disable, and update users.
