Example: Using the wsadmin tool in a secure environment

If you enable security for a WebSphere Application Server cell, supply authentication information to communicate with servers.

The nature of the properties file updates required for running in secure mode depend on whether you connect with a Remote Method Invocation (RMI) connector, or a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) connector:

• If you use a Remote Method Invocation (RMI) connector, set the following properties in the sas.client.props file with the appropriate values:

  com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid=
  com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword=

  Also, set the following property:

  com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=properties

  The default value for this property is prompt in the sas.client.props file. If you leave the default value, a dialog box appears with a password prompt. If the script is running unattended, it appears to hang.
• If you use a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) connector, set the following properties in the soap.client.props file with the appropriate values:

  com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled=true
  com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=
  com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword=

To specify user and password information, choose one of the following methods:

• Specify user name and password on a command line, using the -user and -password commands. For example:

  wsadmin -conntype RMI -port 2809 -user u1 -password secret1

• Specify user name and password in the sas.client.props file for a RMI connector or the soap.client.props file for a SOAP connector.

If you specify user and password information on a command line and in the sas.client.props file or the soap.client.props file, the command line information overrides the information in the props file.
