Enabling Security with the LDAP Directory

Once you have enabled security with your LDAP directory, you must provide the user ID and password required for security authentication on WebSphere Application Server when you perform certain administrative tasks with WebSphere Application Server.

For example, to stop the WebSphere Portal application server, you would issue this command:

stopServer WebSphere_Portal -user admin_userid -password admin_password

Note: If you edit the /u01/ibm/websphere/wp_profile/properties/soap.client.props and enable security and add the userid/password, the userid and password will not be necessary when starting/stopping portal.
