Enabling access to the administration server using the htpasswd utility
The administration server is installed with authentication enabled. This means that the administration server will not accept a connection without a valid user ID and password. This is done to protect the IBM® HTTP Server configuration file from unauthorized access.
Procedure
Launch the htpasswd utility that is shipped with
the administration server. This utility creates and updates the files
used to store user names and password for basic authentication of
users who access your Web server. Locate htpasswd in the bin directory.
htpasswd -cm <install_dir>\conf\admin.passwd [login name]
./htpasswd -cm <install_dir>/conf/admin.passwd [login name]
