Configure WebSphere Application Server to Work With Server Manager When Administrative Security is Enabled

To configure WebSphere Application Server to work with Server Manager when Administrative Security is enabled:

  1. Locate the soap.client.props file associated with the security profile.

    Typically the file is found at this location:

    WAS_Install_Location\profiles\Profile_Name\properties\soap.client.props

  2. Modify these settings in the soap.client.props file:

    com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled=true

    com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=admin_user

    com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword=admin_password

    where admin_user and admin_password are values appropriate to your environment.

  3. In order for the security changes to take effect, you must restart the Management Agent to which the WebSphere Application Server is registered. For instructions, refer to Restart a Management Agent.
