Disabling authentication for WSA administration
When you install the WSA, you can choose to enable WSA security to perform authentication for WSA administration. This authentication can be disabled.
To disable authentication for WSA administration:
1. Using a text editor, edit the WSA instance's web.xml file, commenting out the security-constraint holding the URL path of the WSA administrator, as shown:
<!--
  <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
      <url-pattern>/wsa1/admin/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
  </security-constraint>
-->
Note: In the actual web.xml file, the URL path of the WSA administrator is in bold.
2. Using OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer (or the WSAMAN utility), disable (or set to 0) the WSA instance's adminAuth property:
*If the WSA instance is local (the WSA resides on the AdminServer machine), select the WSA instance in OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, and click Configuration. Select Security to display the Security tab. Click Edit, and then disable authentication for WSA administration.
*If the WSA instance is remote (the WSA instance does not reside on the AdminServer machine), using a text editor, edit the ubroker.properties file. In the properties for the WSA instance, set adminAuth to 0 (zero), as shown:
[WSA]
