ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS: this same error occurs for all fields on this same panel: remote identity , local identity , Synch to OS Thread Allowed and Connection Manager RunAs Identity EnabledLocal fix 1) go all the way down to the zOS-security-options and note the settings, then close that browser session to clear any pointers 2) go into a NEW browser session on the admin console 3) go only as far as: servers -> application-servers -> server-name -> server-security -> server-level-security 4) select OK (even though no changes have been made) 5) select SAVE 6) select SYNC 7) Now go all the way down to the zOS-security-options again 8) make the changes you want and verify the other original settings from step-1 are set correctly 9) follow the normal OK -> SAVE -> SYNC processProblem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V5.0 for z/OS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: java.lang.NullPointerException when * * saving Server Security property * * changes, if Server Security was not * * previously set up. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** On the Administrative Console, a NullPointerException is received when trying to save (Apply or OK) Server Security properties for z/OS Security Options (Servers > Application Servers > (server-name) > Server Security > Server Level Security > z/OS Security Options) or zSAS Transport (Servers > Application Servers > (server-name) > Server Security > zSAS Transport). This only occurs when Server Security has not been previously set up (i.e. there is no security.xml file at the server level).Problem conclusion The code was attempting to access the internal representation of the security.xml file, but it didn't exist. The code was changed to test for its existence and create a new object, if necessary, before attempting to access it.
