Description

Until Artemis 2.15 it was possible to manage local users just as describe in the docs:

./artemis user add --user guest --password guest --role admin

With 2.16, it looks like the broker has to be online before users can be managed:

../artemis user add --user guest --password guest --role amq
Connection brokerURL = tcp://localhost:61616

--user-command-user: is a mandatory property!
Please provide the username to use for the chosen user command:

So, currently, it seems to be impossible to configure admin credentials before starting the broker for the first time.

In case of the behavioral change was intended, please update the docs. Otherwise, it seems to be a bug.
