I run wsadmin and it follow the steps outlined above and the login screen still appears
(This is still local running from within RAD.)

- I need to deploy a WAR file (application was not originally coded to function within Eclipse / RAD.)

Thanks
>> The login screen still appears...

  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.

ok, then what I think is happening is that when you executed the wsadmin script to disable global security, you were not using the profile that you thought you were.

Do you have multiple application servers defined?

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.


C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\runtimes\base_v51\bin>wsadmin -conntype none -lang jacl
WASX7357I: By request, this scripting client is not connected to any server proc
ess. Certain configuration and application operations will be available in local
 mode.
WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help"
wsadmin>securityoff
LOCAL OS security is off now but you need to restart server1 to make it affected
.


wsadmin>quit
C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\runtimes\base_v51\bin>

Then I stopped and restarted the server.

But when I restart, the admin console give an error

It may be defaulting to the standard login page anyways.
I used the local EAR in installable Apps as well as copying the Server (linux) version to my local and running it.  Same Struts problem.
wow, that's very strange.

Have you deployed any application onto that server that uses a version of struts that wasn't provided with the Application Server?

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.
Very interesting.  What applications do you have deployed?
Would it be possible to remove (uninstall) the deployed applications and see if you can get to the admin console, then add them (one at a time) to see if a particular application is making the admin console inaccessible?

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

For working with Websphere within RAD use the Right Click menu, Run Administrative Console.

BUT, WSADMIN was some insight.

Oh yeah - I forgot to ask.
Given your login name, does John 14.6 mean anything in light of that name?
The verse is excellent (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014.6&version=NIV)

However, I think that "1 Corinthians 6:19-20" (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians+6:19-20&version=NIV) is closer to what I was originally thinking.

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.
excellent tip Honor God. I was also worried how to disable security in case my LDAP server goes down as we do not have a LDAP admin .
wasadmin11: I don't see where you opened a question related to this topic.  Did I miss it?
There was no question opened by me . But I had commented on this discussion regarding turning securityoff thro wsadmin. I thought the only was  was to disable it in server.xml . Did not know it could be done throu wsadmin
Ah.  ok.  Thanks for that clarification.

It's amazing how much stuff/information exists in hard to find places with this huge product.  ;-)
