Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

> ## 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 Progress 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), using Progress Explorer, select the WSA instance, right-click, and choose Properties. Select Security to display the Security panel. In the Security panel, 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]
>     .
>     .
>     .
>     adminAuth=1
