Question:
We have installed AdminUI along with other CA SSO components, and the installation finished successfully. After restarting the AdminUI we found that even though the process is getting started, it enters in a hung state, and we are unable to access AdminUI. We tried to re-register AdminUI but with no effect. In the server.log we can see the following lines when we start it:

How can we solve this problem?
Environment:
Policy Server R12.7 on RHEL7
AdminUI R12.7 (on same box)
Answer:
This can happen when JBoss is not able to deploy the ear files needed due to not having enough permissions on the files. First, check if under your /siteminder/adminui/standalone/deployments folder you have the following files along with the .ear files:
iam_siteminder.ear
castylesr5.1.1.ear
iam_siteminder.ear.undeployed
castylesr5.1.1.ear.undeployed
If you have them, it means the JBoss scanner was not able to deploy them before, so stop AdminUI and ensure the user which is running AdminUI has enough permissions (W/R) over all the standalone folder tree. Then, remove the .undeployed files, leaving only the .ear files in the folder:
castylesr5.1.1.ear
iam_siteminder.ear
And then, create the following files (you can use the "touch" command for this) to indicate to the JBoss scanner to deploy them:
# touch castylesr5.1.1.ear.dodeploy
# touch iam_siteminder.ear.dodeploy
So, in the folder you will see the following files along with the readme:
castylesr5.1.1.ear
iam_siteminder.ear
iam_siteminder.ear.dodeploy
castylesr5.1.1.ear.dodeploy
The next time you start AdminUI standalone, it will try to deploy them again, and the logs should show that with the following entries:
2018-02-23 10:49:24,265 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-1) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "iam_siteminder.ear" (runtime-name: "iam_siteminder.ear")
2018-02-23 10:49:24,267 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-2) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "castylesr5.1.1.ear" (runtime-name: "castylesr5.1.1.ear")
After that, AdminUI will start properly, and the extension of the files we created in the deployments folder will change from .dodeploy to .deployed to indicate the scanner that, and you are now able to access through the normal URL or to complete the registration process.
