How To Manually Disable WebSphere Admin Console Security

Read Time:40 Sec

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.
