WebSphere Global Security OFF

This is a massive pain, WAS 6.1 is failing with my new SSL certs with larger (2048) size keys. No matter how perfectly configured my Node Default Trust Store looks with it's happy Signer Certificate, the SSL connection still fails.

I changed a setting to do with SSL - I knew that was a bad idea! Server won't let me back in the console, time to turn off security.

To disable global security either edit the security.xml file or use the wsadmin tool.

$WAS_HOME\config\cells\cellname\security.xml

Using WAS command-line client wsadmin (run with was user or root privileges):
1. Open a connection to local WAS in offline mode
wsadmin -conntype NONE

2. Turn off global security
wsadmin> securityoff

3. Save
wsadmin> $AdminConfig save
