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:

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.
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
