It's simple; it works. I was following various recipes collected from
the web.

Also, I had a problem starting the management service (which provides
the CLI functionality), so I couldn't use the CLI tools. I don't recall
the exact problem now.

I guess you can configure things "statically" from the config files, or
"dynamically" from the CLI. I like the config file approach, personally.
