Thanks for your reply JB and sorry for responding so late. Busy weeks - all my colleges enjoy the holidays...
I looked into the Karaf documentation but I didn't found the solution I was looking for. My "wish" is to edit "org.apache.karaf.jaas.cfg" and set the property "users" to e.g. "/Users/admin/karaf/users.properties". But this is not possible as long this property is hard coded to "$[karaf.base]/etc/users.properties". May there is a good reason for this hard coded value you can share with me? However, I understood I have to deploy a blueprint configuration like as the one below: <blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0"; xmlns:jaas="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/jaas/v1.1.0"; xmlns:ext="http://aries.apache.org/blueprint/xmlns/blueprint-ext/v1.0.0";> <ext:property-placeholder placeholder-prefix="$[" placeholder-suffix="]"/> <jaas:config name="karaf" rank="100"> <jaas:module className="org.apache.karaf.jaas.modules.properties.PropertiesLoginModule" flags="required"> users = $[karaf.base]/etc/users.properties ... </jaas:module> </jaas:config> </blueprint> In SMX 4.2.0 (Felix Karaf 1.4.0) I found a similar solution (only a different namespace).
