Removing authorization data by using the wsadmin tool
Use these commands to remove authorization data for the default roles, or for a destination or a foreign bus.
To run these commands, use the AdminTask object of the wsadmin scripting client. Each command acts on multiple objects in one operation. The commands are provided to allow you to make the most commonly-required types of update in a consistent manner, where modifying the underlying objects directly would be error-prone.
The wsadmin scripting client is run from Qshell.
For more information, see Configuring Qshell to run WebSphere scripts using wsadmin scripting.
Command-line help is provided for service integration bus commands:
- For a list of the available service integration bus security commands in Jython
and a brief description of each command, enter the following command at the wsadmin
prompt:
print AdminTask.help('SIBAdminBusSecurityCommands')
- For overview help on a given command, enter the following command at the wsadmin
prompt:
print AdminTask.help('command_name')
After using the command, save your changes to the master configuration by using the
following command:
AdminConfig.save()
Commands
- Removing authorization data for the defaults
- To remove all users and groups from every role (sender, receiver and so
on) in the defaults, use the following command:
- Using Jython:
AdminTask.removeDefaultRoles("-bus busname")
- Using Jacl:
$AdminTask removeDefaultRoles {-bus busname}
- Using Jython:
- Removing all authorization data for a destination
- To delete all authorization data for a destination, use the following
command:
- Using Jython:
AdminTask.removeDestinationRoles("-type destinationType -bus busname -foreignBus foreignBusName -destination destinationName")
- Using Jacl:
AdminTask.removeDestinationRoles("-type destinationType -bus busname -foreignBus foreignBusName -destination destinationName")
Notes:- This command deletes all authorization data for the specified destination. If the destination is a topic space, the command removes all authorization data for the virtual root and for the topics within the topic space, as well as for the topic space itself.
- You can use this command if you are deleting the destination and want to remove all associated authorization permissions, or if you want to block all access to a destination by removing all authorization permissions for it. In this second case a user might still be able to access the destination if they have been granted default authorization permissions. If you have specified default authorization permissions and you want to block all access to the destination, you must stop the destination inheriting the default permissions by using the command setInheritDefaultsForDestinations (see Defining destination defaults inheritance by using the wsadmin tool). You should use the removeDestinationRoles command first, followed by the setInheritDefaultsForDestinations command.
- Using Jython:
- Removing all authorization data for a foreign bus
- To delete all authorization data for the specified foreign bus, use the
following command:
- Using Jython:
AdminTask.removeForeignBusRoles("-bus busname -foreignBus foreignBusName")
- Using Jacl:
$AdminTask removeForeignBusRoles {-bus busname -foreignBus foreignBusName}
- Using Jython:
After using these commands, save your changes to the master configuration; for example,
by using the following command:
AdminConfig.save()
