This I understand. But, is there a password field now?
There shouldn't be with global security turned off.
You should just see a "userid" input field.
This field can be empty, just click the "Login" button.
If you specify a userid before clicking on the "Login" button, updates can be tracked/logged against this specific user.
Thanks for hanging in there with me
There are not multiple servers defined.
Here is my console output, and you are correct - it says LOCAL SECURITY has been turned off. The commands I entered are below in BOLD.
Nope. I am running/debugging an EJB Web Service primarily (no UI)
Recently I am assigned an old app (orig developed in NetBeans, not Eclipse, and not formatted for IDE deploying and debugging) with Struts 1.2x.
I am trying to get to the point to deploy it as a WAR (ANT Script) through the app server Admin Console but it keeps erring out.
I am going to look through the jars of the application and see if I can try different Struts Jars.
Even "Tiles" framework complains with its own exceptions.
So I was trying to run the ADMIN console from an external browser from RAD.
I can run it in RAD and the Admin console is happy as can be.
SERVER >> rightclick_menu option "Run Administrative Console"
voila!
Thank you for hanging in there on this.
I am going to award you a majority of the points for an awesome insight on WSADMIN
The verse is excellent (http://www.biblegateway.c
However, I think that "1 Corinthians 6:19-20" (http://www.biblegateway.c
However, I requested the login name after having gotten a North Carolina License Plate of the same letters (although the NC license plate is only in capital letters).
Whenever I see it, I am encouraged to try to be more aware of how my actions may bring honor to God. I can only hope, and pray that I am successful.
Thanks for the grade & points.
Good luck & have a blessed day.

There isn't one...
If you see an input field for both userid & password for the admin console, then security was enabled, and a userid & password were specified.
If it is enabled, and you need to disable it:
- Open a command prompt
- "cd" to the WebSphere\AppServer\bin directory
- start the wsadmin utility in "local mode", e.g.,
> wsadmin -conntype none -lang jacl
- disable global security by typing "securityoff" at the "wsadmin>" command prompt
- enter "quit" at the "wsadmin>" prompt to terminate the utility
When you stop, and restart your AppServer, global security should be disabled, and no "password" is needed to access the admin console.
On the other hand, if you want, after disabling global security using the wsadmin tool, you could also enable it, and define a userid and password before you exist the wsadmin tool. The command to do this is:
securityon userid password
So, the commands to be used are:
- Disable global security with:
securityoff
- Enable global security and define the administrative userid & password using:
securityon userid password
- Terminate the wsadmin utility using
quit
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & let me know how it goes.
