Disabling security

Use the instructions in this topic if you have enabled WebSphere® Application Server security for WebSphere Premises Server or for Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server and would like to disable it.

Since WebSphere Premises Server and Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server share the same WebSphere Application Server administrative console, if you disable security for WebSphere Premises Server, then security is also disabled for Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server. Be sure to follow the instructions in Disabling security for WebSphere Premises Server and Location Awareness Services for WebSphere Premises Server to properly disable security when you have both software packages installed.
