Login settings

Use this page to specify the user for the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. If you are using global security, then you must also specify a password.

When you specify a user, you can resume work done previously with the product. After you type in a user ID, and password if you are using global security, click OK to proceed to the next page and access the administrative console.

To view this page, start the administrative console.

Logging into the administrative console

When you log into the administrative console, you can optionally specify a user ID if the console is not secure. If the administrative console is secure, you must specify a user ID and password.

User ID

Specifies a string that identifies the user. The user ID must be unique to the administrative server. Concurrent administrative console sessions must use unique user IDs.

Work that you do with the product and then save before exiting the product is saved to a configuration that is identified by the user ID that you enter. To later access work done under that user ID, specify the same user ID in the Login page.

Data type String

Password

If you use global security, specify a password.

Resolving conflicts during login

Conflicts can result if you log into the administrative console with a user ID that is already in use.

Another user is currently logged in with the same user name

Specifies whether to log out the user and to continue work with the user ID that is specified, or to return to the Login page and specify a different user ID, or wait for the user to log out.

This field is displayed if:

Recovering prior changes

You can either recover changes that you made to the configuration from a prior session or use the master configuration. The default is to recover changes from a prior session.

Recover changes made in a prior session

When enabled, this setting specifies that you want to use the same administrative configuration used for the last user's session. This option recovers changes made by the user since the last saving of the administrative configuration for the user's session.

This field is displayed only if the user changed the administrative configuration and then logged out without saving the changes.

Work with the master configuration

When enabled, this setting specifies to use the default administrative configuration instead of the configuration that was last used for the user's session. Changes that are made to the user's session since the last saving of the administrative configuration are lost.

This field is displayed only if the user changed the administrative configuration and then logged out without saving the changes.

Resolving login failures

When the administrative console is enabled with global security, you must type in a valid user ID and password. If the user ID, password, or both are not valid, you receive the following message:
 Unable to process login. Please check User ID and password and try again.
Resolve the problem by entering a valid user ID and password as defined in the WebSphere Application Server security documentation.

Administering different servers that run on the same machine

If you have one or more different standalone servers running on the same machine and want to administer them concurrently from the same or a different machine, then you must:
  1. Ensure that each server uses a unique value for its administrative console port of WC_adminhost.
  2. Run a separate Web browser process for each administrative console that you want to access concurrently.
