Keycloak retry database connection during startup - postgresql

I have Keycloak on one server configured to connect to a remote PostgreSQL database, both the database and the Keycloak server start at the same time in the morning but the database takes a little more time before it's available which prevents the Keycloak service from starting:
WARN [org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.strategy.OnePool] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 63) IJ000604: Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null: javax.resource.ResourceException: IJ031084: Unable to create connection
I tried adding the following lines to standalone.xml but it only seems to prevent Keycloak from crashing if it's already started and the database reboots:
<validation>
<check-valid-connection-sql>select 1</check-valid-connection-sql>
<validate-on-match>false</validate-on-match>
<background-validation>true</background-validation>
<background-validation-millis>15000</background-validation-millis>
</validation>

If anyone is looking for a solution and is using systemd, I ended up adding these two lines to my keycloak.service file in the [Service] block:
Restart=always
RestartSec=5min

Keycloak - Connection Null issue when spun up on AWS ECS

I have checked that all relevant parameters are being parsed correctly and i am able to see them in my AWS ECS service. When the service is spun up i get the below error WARN  [org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.strategy.OnePool] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 60) IJ000604: Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null: javax.resource.ResourceException: IJ031084: Unable to create connection which then follows with this error Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: database "keycloak" does not exist
I am unsure if the two are related. I validated relevant parameters and have tried to imitate the same issue locally.
Any help or advice would be aprpeciated

Wildfly tries to open wrong server

While accesing a remote database Wildfly is not able to connect to it, it tries to access COMPNAME (my computer's name) as if it was the selected database instead of the one defined on datasource, that of course doesn't exist.
I have used the same conection properties on datasource to access database with SQL Server Management Studio and it works perfectly, the standalone configuration is the same as in my old computer where it worked.
This is the datasource:
<datasource jta="true" jndi-name="java:/SQLDESTINATION" pool-name="SQLDESTINATION" enabled="true" use-ccm="true">
<connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://urlthatworks:1433;DatabaseName=DB_NAME</connection-url>
<driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
<driver>sqljdbc4.jar</driver>
<security>
<user-name>userok</user-name>
<password>passok</password>
</security>
<validation>
<valid-connection-checker class-name="org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.mssql.MSSQLValidConnectionChecker"/>
<background-validation>true</background-validation>
</validation>
</datasource>
And here is wildfly log:
2019-09-27 13:29:53,126 ERROR [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 71) javax.resource.ResourceException: IJ000453: Unable to get managed connection for java:/SQLDESTINATION

.......
Caused by: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open server "COMPNAME" requested by the login. The login failed.
So problem is that instead of trying to get to "DB_NAME" it is trying to access "COMPNAME"
Difference that I guess shouldn't matter is old computer was using windows 7 and this one windows 10 and in old computer wildfly folder was under C:\Users\myusername\wildfly-10.1.0.Final folder while in new one it is in D:\wildfly-10.1.0.Final
Try databaseName=DB_NAME instead of DatabaseName=DB_NAME.
I managed to get it work by changing the folder to C:\Users\myusername\wildfly-10.1.0.Final although this doesn't explain why on D: it would try to overwrite the server name with my computer name.

ActiveMQ has correct dialect but the SQL statements are incorrect AUTO_INCREMENT instead of IDENTITY tables creation

I'm using the following:
JBoss Wildfly 15.0.1.Final
MSSQL JDBC connector (i.e. mssql-jdbc-7.2.2.jre11.jar)
standalone-full.xml
I believe I have setup everything correctly. The MSSQL JDBC jar is in the modules directory with its associated module.xml. The datasource is correctly defined and functional. ActiveMQ Artemis has been setup (works fine using the file system). However when I attempt to have it use JDBC it fails trying to create the necessary tables with the following error:
SQLState: S0001 ErrorCode: 102 Message: Incorrect syntax near AUTO_INCREMENT'.
So I'm wondering what is wrong. ActiveMQ says it supports SQL Server, and it automatically figures out which SQL dialect to use based on the return value of the driver (I've checked that name with an 6.0 version of the driver and it is the same), also in the debug output it says
[org.apache.activemq.artemis.jdbc.store.journal.JDBCJournalImpl] ServerService Thread Pool -- 80) Detect database dialect as 'MSSQL'".
So that looks good. So I'm a bit confused on what is wrong and would like to get it to work. I'm providing the critical elements that I have in the standalone-full.xml. Is there any other setup I need or is this a bug?
Is this also a symptom of a problem? (i.e. see the log output...the broker is not initialized with correct driver/url that was specified by the datasource definition)
AMQ221000: live Message Broker is starting with configuration Broker Configuration (clustered=false,jdbcDriverClassName=org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver,jdbcConnectionUrl=null,messageTableName=AMQ_MESSAGES,bindingsTableName=AMQ_BINDINGS,largeMessageTableName=AMQ_LARGE_MESSAGES,pageStoreTableName=AMQ_PSTORE,)

It appears that even though the dialect is correctly detected as MSSQL the broker doesn't have the corresponding SQL statements to properly support it. The SQL statements for MSSQL were added in ActiveMQ Artemis 2.6.4 via ARTEMIS-2202. You're using 2.6.3 so you don't have those.
Upgrading ActiveMQ Artemis in Wildfly can sometimes fail due to the tight coupling between the two so if you don't want to try upgrading you could theoretically crack open the artemis-jdbc-store jar file and add/replace these lines to journal-sql.properties
# MSSQL SQL statements
create-file-table.mssql=CREATE TABLE %s (ID BIGINT NOT NULL IDENTITY, FILENAME VARCHAR(255), EXTENSION VARCHAR(10), DATA VARBINARY(max), PRIMARY KEY(ID))
create-journal-table.mssql=CREATE TABLE %s(id BIGINT,recordType SMALLINT,compactCount SMALLINT,txId BIGINT,userRecordType SMALLINT,variableSize INTEGER,record VARBINARY(max),txDataSize INTEGER,txData VARBINARY(max),txCheckNoRecords INTEGER,seq BIGINT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(seq))
max-blob-size.mssql=2147483647
Regarding the AMQ221000 log message that indicates there is an incorrect JDBC driver configuration...This is due to the fact that the ActiveMQ Artemis broker has its own JDBC driver configuration for when it's running standalone. When it's embedded in Wildfly and configured to use a datasource via JNDI then the standalone JDBC driver configuration isn't used. It will simply look up the specified datasource and use that.

Failed to read challenge file [Caused by java.io.FileNotFoundException: /jboss/standalone/tmp/auth/local4123__.challenge (No such file or directory)

I am trying to connect two machines both running JBoss EAP 7.1.0 using a JMS bridge. Machine 1 is to act as a web server and has a WAR file deployed which is accessible, and Machine 2 is to act as the app server and has all the necessary components deployed just fine.

The connection to the target machine (application server) is being made as the path to JBoss is that of the path on the machine, which I verified by testing with a Windows application server environment and the path was the correct Windows path to the directory where the challenge file should be, so clearly the connection is being made as the directories are being accessed. However, the .challenge file isn't present each time which understandably causes the error message.
I have scoured SO and JBoss forums for days now and nothing is resolving my issue.
I saw this post: JBOSS-LOCAL-USER: javax.security.sasl.SaslException: Failed to read server challenge
This is the same issue that I am facing, but the answer which was marked as correct doesn't help me very much. The solution, in this case, was to replace the default ApplicationRealm with a JAAS realm, but I do not know if this is what I need, and I certainly do not currently have one. I did research it, but it seemed to not be applicable to my setup, but I could be wrong.
I also tried this solution: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3209281 (Subscription only access)
This solution was to remove default-user="$local" from here:
<security-realm name="ApplicationRealm">
<authentication>
<local default-user="$local" allowed-users="*" skip-group-loading="true"/>
I did this to both standalone-full.xml files on both machines, and it appeared to make no difference at all.
I have created application users on both machines and given them superuser privileges through the JBoss console as I figured it was probably an issue with permissions when trying to write the file but this too was to no avail. I have also verified that both user credentials are correct.
The workaround was to switch to using a core bridge instead of a JMS bridge, as per the recommendation from Justin in the comments.

How to configure PostgreSQL database for deploying alfresco on tomcat 8?

I have built alfresco(version 5.2) from source on ubuntu 16.04. I want to deploy alfresco on tomcat 8. The deployment is successful however the PostgreSQL database is not getting configured as required. I have followed the steps as given in http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/tasks/postgresql-config.html
I observe the home page as given in image alfresco_page
Am I missing onto something here that the PostgreSQL database is not getting configured. Is there any other configuration that needs to be done that I have missed ?
UPDATE
The alfresco.log gave me this

Things to check:
Is postgres running (ps -ef|grep postgres)?
Can you use psql to connect to postgres using the db.name, db.username, and db.password that are configured in alfresco-global.properties?
Did you follow the step in the docs about editing pg_hba.conf to make sure that postgres is configured to allow password based authentication?
Also, it is exceedingly rare to need to build Alfresco from source unless you are making changes to the low-level classes themselves, which is not recommended.
