IBM Websphere Console redirection from /admin to /ibm/console

Redirection from /admin to /ibm/console doesn't works if you patch yours Websphere Application Server to Fixpack of  7.0.0.39, 8.0.0.11, or 8.5.5.6 later.

It will throw below error on browser page:
Error 404: SRVE0190E: File not found: {0}


If you want to fix these error (not recommended as this bug is fixed in above versions of Fixpacks), you can refer below link:

Thanks!!
Enjoy troubleshooting !!

Say No when wsadmin script needs credential, every time you run it

>Have Global Security Turned ON.

>Update below properties in soap.client.props file located at "Linux: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/<profile_name>/properties/soap.client.props"

a. update value for "com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled" as true
b. "com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid" with wsadmin userId
c. "com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword" with wsadmin password (encrypted)

>No need to restart DMGR (Deployment manager) to reflect this change. It will take it refresh automatically.

Avoid timeouts in wsadmin

While running into com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout, a property which is defined in <PROFILE_ROOT>/properties/soap.client.props and defaults to 180 seconds. Solution is to :

->Copy the soap.client.props file from <PROFILE_ROOT>/properties and give it a new name such as mysoap.client.props.
->Edit mysoap.client.props and update the value of com.ibm.SOAP.requestTimeout as required
->Create a new Java properties file soap_override.props and enter the following line:
->>com.ibm.SOAP.ConfigURL=file:<path>/mysoap.client.props 
->Pass soap_override.props into wsadmin using the -p option: wsadmin -p soap_override.props

Enjoy SCRIPTING !

Why IBM IHS855

As IBM IHS7 doesn't support TLS 1.1 and above. It negotiates these protocols.
 To be on safer side, IBM IHS855 is suggested which do support TLS 1.1 and above.


+ Will post much more on this and topics linked to Middleware Hub. Stay ON.. Thanks !
