The WebSphere Application Server wsadmin.sh tool provides the ability to run scripts. You can use the wsadmin.sh tool to manage a WebSphere Application Server V8.0 installation, as well as configuration, application deployment, and server run-time operations. The WebSphere Application Server only supports the Jacl and Jython scripting languages.

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

The sas.client.props and the soap.client.props files are located in the properties directory for each WebSphere Application Server profile, profile_root/properties, where profile_root is the directory that contains your profile. In the default installation, profile_root is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles.

test317:~ # cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/properties/

test317:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/properties # ls -l *props
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  5442 Jul 11  2012 ipc.client.props

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.

RMI connector

ilc04z:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrvr01/bin # ./wsadmin.sh -conntype RMI -host ilc04z.boulder.ibm.com -port 2809
Realm/Cell Name: defaultWIMFileBasedRealm
User Identity: wasadmin
User Password:
 WASX7209I: Connected to process "server1" on node ilc04zNode01 using RMI connector;  The type of process is: UnManagedProcess
WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help"
wsadmin>

RMI uses the BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS port:

ilc04z:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrvr01/bin # cat ../properties/portdef.props | grep BOOTSTRAP
BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS=2809

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

# RMI/IIOP user identity
com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid=wasadmin
com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword=wasadmin

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.

The result is:

ilc04z:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrvr01/bin # ./wsadmin.sh -conntype RMI -host ilc04z.boulder.ibm.com -port 2809
WASX7209I: Connected to process "server1" on node ilc04zNode01 using RMI connector;  The type of process is: UnManagedProcess
WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help"
wsadmin>

SOAP connector


ilc04z:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrvr01/bin # ./wsadmin.sh -conntype SOAP
Realm/Cell Name: <default>
Username: wasadmin
Password:
 WASX7209I: Connected to process "server1" on node ilc04zNode01 using SOAP connector;  The type of process is: UnManagedProcess
WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help"
wsadmin>

If you use a 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=wasadmin
com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword=wasadmin

Optionally, set the following property:

com.ibm.SOAP.loginSource=none

The default value for this property is prompt in the soap.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.

The result is:

ilc04z:/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrvr01/bin # ./wsadmin.sh -conntype SOAP
WASX7209I: Connected to process "server1" on node ilc04zNode01 using SOAP connector;  The type of process is: UnManagedProcess
WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help"
wsadmin>

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.
