WebSphere Application Server hints and tips

If you want to turn off administrative security but cannot start the server to run the Administrative Console, you can turn off administrative security from the command line:
  1. Go to the WebSphere® Application Server installation directory.
  2. Type bin\wsadmin.bat –conntype NONE
  3. When the system prompt redisplays, type securityoff.
  4. When you are finished, type quit.

After turning off administrative security, clear the Security is enabled on this server check box in the server configuration before restarting the server.

When testing your Rich UI application, after authenticating with JEE security, if you make a change to your application or configuration and want to retest authentication, you might have to stop the server and exit the Workbench in order to clear all saved values. For Windows, before you restart, use the Task Manager to ensure the java.exe process for the server has finished.

If you have trouble starting your server with administrative security enabled, make sure you specified SOAP as your server connection type in your WebSphere server configuration.
