9.7 Authorization Fails in the WebSphere
Application
If you have configured WebSphere to map roles, the authorization of the user might occasionally
fail. This could be because, when
the J2EE Agent is installed, they fail to be propagated to the JAAC module automatically even after
a restart. If this happens, do the following:
1 Browse to the folder where the Novell J2EE Agent is installed.

3 Delete the first line.
4 Modify
Replace <application server name> with the name of the application server instance where
NIDPJ2EEApp is installed.
5 Execute the following command at the shell prompt:
<path-to-websphere>/bin/wsadmin.sh -username <adminusername> -password
<adminpassword> -lang jacl -f <path-to-nids_agents-folder>/
uDontKnowJacc.jy
Replace <path-to-websphere> with the path where the WebSphere server is installed.
Replace <adminusername> with the name of the WebSphere administrator.
Replace <adminpassword> with the password of the WebSphere administrator.
