asadmin commands in postboot commandfile not resulting in same outcome as running it manually

[StijnVdd]

Description

---

When running a post-boot-command file, creating a auth-relam is not working properly. (in docker container)
I'm able to create some JDBC connection pools, registering some system properties, but creating a custom authentication-realm is not possible.

Expected Outcome

The commands are executed successfully, in these specific cases: authentication realm with sql statements as one or more properties properties.
It's also expected that the same command, tested with asadmin multimode, works in a postbootcommandfile, but it's not true.

Current Outcome

The log reports "This parameter may not have more than one value." when running using a post-boot-command file

Steps to reproduce (Only for bug reports)

asAdmin command

Please note that in My case I do use a custom class. I chose here a 'FileRealm' to demonstrate my issue

create-auth-realm --classname=com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.file.FileRealm --target=server-config --property java.naming.referral=ignore:jaas-context=myMontovaRealm:datasource.jndi=jdbc/SomeJDBC:sql.password="SELECT u.password FROM users u WHERE u.email \= ? AND u.active \= true":sql.groups="SELECT SOME OTHER SQL":sql.impersonate_user="YET ANOTHER":sql.token="SELECT r.token FROM rememberme_token r WHERE r.email \= ? AND r.token \= ?":search-bind-dn=TestUser:search-bind-password=Password:directory=DummyDir:base-dn="DC\=company,DC\=com":file=testFile myRealm

When running this command in multimode
PS Desktop\payara-5.192\payara5\bin> .\asadmin create-auth-realm --classname=com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.file.FileRealm --target=server-config --property java.naming.referral=ignore:jaas-context=myMontovaRealm:datasource.jndi=jdbc/SomeJDBC:sql.password="SELECT u.password FROM users u WHERE u.email \= ? AND u.active \= true":sql.groups="SELECT SOME OTHER SQL":sql.impersonate_user="YET ANOTHER":sql.token="SELECT r.token FROM rememberme_token r WHERE r.email \= ? AND r.token \= ?":search-bind-dn=TestUser:search-bind-password=Password:directory=DummyDir:base-dn="DC\=company,DC\=com":file=testFile myRealm Command create-auth-realm executed successfully.

Samples

Context (Optional)

Running the post-boot-command file in a docker container

Environment

• Payara Version: 5.192
• Edition: Full

[sm0ke21]

I am getting the same behaviour with a simple create-jvm-options post-boot command. It works as expected on the cli, but fails as a post-boot command.

I am using the payara/server-full docker image.

Sample post-boot-commands.asadmin

create-jvm-options -Dfoo=bar

Output

[#|2019-10-31T14:05:54.428+0000|WARNING|Payara 5.193|fish.payara.boot.runtime.BootCommand|_ThreadID=1;_ThreadName=main;_TimeMillis=1572530754428;_LevelValue=900;|
  Boot Command create-jvm-options failed Exception while executing command. |#]

I can't even reproduce any of the examples here: https://github.com/payara/Payara-Server-Documentation/blob/master/documentation/payara-micro/asadmin/pre-and-post-boot-scripts.adoc

Closing this issue as there's no response from the users involved.

check spaces in values

structure-of-a-boot-script

Boot scripts are simple text files that contain the asadmin subcommands used to configure the instance. These scripts will follow these set of rules:

...
. Each asadmin command must be formatted on the syntax subcommand [options] [operands],
...
NOTE: asadmin commands that contain spaces in the value should be surrounded with quotations marks.

incorrect:
