Update the custom application-users.properties and application-roles.properties file to include Realm name:

Sample application-users.properties:

Sample application-roles.properties:

Command to update custom users/roles file through elytron-tool.sh

echo "START - enable-users"
/opt/eap/bin/elytron-tool.sh filesystem-realm --users-file /home/jboss/custom/application-users.properties --roles-file /home/jboss/custom/application-roles.properties --output-location /opt/kie/data/kie-fs-realm-users
find /opt/kie/data/kie-fs-realm-users -name *.xml -exec sed -i 's/<attribute name="roles"/<attribute name="role"/g' {} ;
echo "END - enable-users"

Expected user.xml generated in output-location (/opt/kie/data/kie-fs-realm-users):

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<identity xmlns="urn:elytron:1.0">
    <credentials>
        <password algorithm="digest-md5" format="base64">Ag9pbnRlZ3JhdGlvblVzZXIQQXBwbGljYXRpb25SZWFsbSjAetOv+11Kg3GFrzK+r98</password>
    </credentials>
    <attributes>
        <attribute name="role" value="kie-server"></attribute>
        <attribute name="role" value="rest-all"></attribute>
        <attribute name="role" value="admin"></attribute>
        <attribute name="role" value="kiemgmt"></attribute>
        <attribute name="role" value="Administrators"></attribute>
        <attribute name="role" value="user"></attribute>
    </attributes></identity>sh-4.4$

Root Cause

RHPAM 7.12.1 paired with EAP 7.4.1 does not create a valid XML file for kie-fs-realm users/roles. Reference RedHat support case – https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/03197932
