Hi, We decided to override the karaf realm instead of adding a new one and have to modify all configurations. Works perfectly so far, thanks!
But it would still be nice if we could also replace config key values via e.g. Assembly Property Edits. The following allows only to replace the whole configuration with this or multiple key-value pairs, not to replace one single value: <propertyEdits> <edits> <edit> <file>org.apache.karaf.webconsole.cfg</file> <operation> <operation>put</operation> </operation> <key>realm</key> <value>kisters-water</value> </edit> </edits> </propertyEdits> Something similar could perhaps also be supported by the config element in feature.xml, which is currently limited the same way: <config name="org.apache.karaf.webconsole" override="true" append="false"> test=value </config> Thanks!

Hi Cédric You can provide the security schema via blueprint or programmatically, overriding the karaf realm. Or you can create a new realm and update all services (ssh, etc) with this realm (more changes to do). I would go more with the overriding karaf realm, probably easier (the overriding bundle would be part of your distribution).
