    default['wildfly-clu']['cluster_schema']       = {
                                      "myserver1"  => { :role => "domain-controller" , :ip => "33.33.33.13",  :port_offset => "0" },
                                      "myserver2"  => { :role => "slave"  , :ip => "33.33.33.11" , :master => "myserver1" , :port_offset => "0"},
                                      "myserver3"  => { :role => "slave"  , :ip => "33.33.33.12" , :master => "myserver1" , :port_offset => "0" }

                                               }

Attributes

User, group and application name ( app name will be /usr/local/myapplication and /etc/init.d/myapplication )

    #username
default['wildfly-clu']['user']

    #group name
default['wildfly-clu']['group'] = "wildfly"
    
    #app name
default['wildfly-clu']['name']  = "wildfly"  ##/usr/local/SYMBOLIC_LINK  => /usr/local/wildfly-8.8.8-Final

    #Linux service name 
    default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['service'] = "wildfly"   (/etc/init.d/SERVICE_NAME)


default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['version'] 
default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['url']
default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['checksum']
default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['targz'] 
default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['home'] 
default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['base']   
default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['logs']

    #Set true to deploy the HelloWorld.war
    default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['deploy_hello_world'] = true

#set this to true in order to configure an haproxy for the slaves declared in the cluster schema
default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['haproxy'] = true

#password for the slave realm.. use encrypted databag for increase security
default['wildfly-clu']['wildfly']['ManagementRealm'] = "a2VybmVscGFuaWMhMTIz"

    Default credential for Wildfly console:
    username:  admin
password:  admin	
    Default username for slave-master communication:
username:  slave
    password:  kernelpanic!123

    In order to configure different user with a different password:
 1. launch on the domain controller server add-user.sh
 2. create and user 
 3. Is this new user going to be used for one AS process to connect to another AS process? 
 e.g. for a slave host controller connecting to the master or for a Remoting connection for server to server EJB calls.
 yes/no? yes
 4. Replace mgmt-users.properties mgmt-groups.properties with new new ones in the template dir of this cookbook.
