Abstract:  Modify AdminConsole Security Center to browse the file structure

Description/symptom of problem:  When the Security Center is launched for the AdminConsole, and files are browsed, the browsing occurs on the first node the AdminConsole finds.  It could happen that the first node the AdminConsole finds is remote to the machine from which the AdminConsole is launched.  If that remote node happens to be not available then the Security Center enters into a suspended state, until it times out.  In this fix we make the AdminConsole browse the filesystem on the node from where it is launched.

Directions to apply fix:  1) Create temporary "Fix" directory to store the jar file:
         UNIX: /tmp/WebSphere/Fix
         Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\Fix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere

4) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear:
   java -jar <jar file name>

5) Restart WebSphere

6) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.  Do 
   not remove any files created and stored in the <WASHOME>/Fix/PQ82430
   directories. These files are required if a Fix is to be removed.

Directions to remove fix:  NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A 
       FIX UNLESS ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU 
       MAY RE-APPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has Fix1, Fix2, and Fix3 applied in that order and 
	  Fix2 is to be removed, Fix3 must be removed first, Fix2 removed, 
	  and Fix3 re-applied.

1) Change directory to the Fix location (<WASHOME>/Fix/PQ82430).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
   java -jar PQ82430_Fix_backup.jar

4) Restart WebSphere

Directions to re-apply fix:  Follow the instructions for applying a Fix.  If the backup files still exist 
(from the previous Fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.  
Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts.
