Keycloak - Create Admin User in a Realm

Question

How do I create an admin user in a realm in Keycloak? I tried /bin/add-user.sh -r myrealm -u admin -p It gave me the error:

 * Error *
         


        

Answer 1

Pleas have a look in this command

/bin/add-user.sh -r myrealm -u admin -p 

here you are trying to run a shell script which will create a user admin with some password under realm myrealm .

So its mandatory myrealm realm should exist before you are going to create a user under it.

If this is not working try to create a user under master realm which is default realm exist after keycloak installation.
