(zos)Disable administrative security
We can disable administrative security through the administrative console. If administrative security is not working properly, it can cause the server to not start, or to start without providing you with the ability to log into the administrative console.
If we cannot log into the administrative console and you must disable administrative security, locate the profile_root/bin directory and first run the wsadmin -conntype NONE command. At the wsadmin prompt, type securityoff and then type exit to return to a command prompt. Restart the server with security disabled to check any incorrect settings through the administrative console.
If we can log into the administrative console, we can disable administrative security by completing the following steps:
- Click Security > Global security.
- Deselect the Enable administrative security check box.
- Restart the server.
