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

under appreciated: the web front end

It should be the most important thing - it's what we see and interact with! Sadly, in my experience web front ends are treated like an afterthought. "Too many functional requirements to worry about the page view"

Well, here's a master of the front end, and a brilliantly written article about @font-face - embedding web fonts. I look forward to more from Mr DuLac!

imagining dimensions and books

I love well visualized physics, but please note: this book/blog is *imagining up* the images and ideas that match the math of String/M-theory. And believe me, the Math-English translator is a bit iffy at the best of times ;)

Anyway, please enjoy "Imagining the 10th Dimension" and be sure to listen to "But aren't there 11 dimensions".

From the description, I am reminded of a fascinating victorian-era novella (I thought it was about physics!) called: Flatland: a romance of many dimensions. If you ever see it in the wild, pick it up.
