In trying to setup Tools Release 8.98.3.2, I ran across an issue where the Server Manager would not install a J2EE server for an EnterpriseOne HTML server to be installed to. In order to fix the issue I had to disable the Websphere Admin Console Security. The steps below are what I followed:

1. Make a backup of the security.xml file:

   /config/cells/cellname/security.xml

2. Edit the security.xml file
3. Search for the first instance of “enabled=”. You should see enabled=”true”.
4. Change this to enabled=”false”.
5. Save the security.xml file.
6. Restart server1 and the WebSphere_Portal servers. If you get authentication exceptions while trying to stop the servers, you may have to manually kill the servers’ processes and then restart them.
