Updating and redeploying secured applications

Before you begin

Before you perform this task, secure Web applications, secure Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) applications, and deploy them in WebSphere Application Server. This section addresses the way to update existing applications.

Steps for this task

  1. Use the administrative console to modify the existing users and groups mapping to roles. For information on the required steps, see Assigning users and groups to roles.
  2. Use the administrative console to modify the users for the RunAs roles. For information on the required steps, see Assigning users to RunAs roles .
  3. Complete and save the changes.
  4. Stop and restart the application for the changes to become effective.
  5. Use an assembly tool. For more information, see Assembling applications.
  6. Use an assembly tool to modify roles, method permissions, auth-constraints, data-constraints and so on. For more information, see Assembling applications.
  7. Save the enterprise archive (EAR) file, uninstall the old application, deploy the modified application and start the application to make the changes effective.

Result

The applications are modified and redeployed. This step is required to modify existing secured applications.

What to do next

If information about roles is modified, make sure that you update the user and group information using the administrative console. After the secured applications are modified and either restarted or redeployed, verify that the changes are effective by accessing the resources in the application.
