Disabling WAS security by editing the configuration file

Posted by Albin Joseph | Posted in WebSphere | Posted on 14-04-2008

Some times there might be cases like forgetting WebSphere admin console password where we need to disable WebSphere Application Server security by editing configuration files without logging into the WAS admin console. In order to does this go to

?View Code PLAIN
WAS_INSTALL_DIR/profiles/<profileName>/config/cells/<cellName>/

and open the file security.xml. Search for a tag name

?View Code XML
<security:Security.

This would be the first tag in security.xml file. In this tag we can see an attribute called

?View Code XML
enabled="true"

Just change the value to false. Save the file and restart the server. Security will be disabled on the server.
