  ****************************************************************
  When running the addNode command using conntype RMI, and
  com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=none in the sas.client.props file
  it is necessary to provide a username and password on the
  command line EXCEPT on the z/OS platform. On z/OS, this
  scenario should work without a username and password,
  since the logged-in user's credentials are inherited.
  However, the Application Server code is not handling this
  scenario correctly. On z/OS, the inherited credentials are not
  being passed to the filetransfer service, and as a result a
  TransferFailedException is thrown. Here is a sample excerpt of
  the output from the addNode.sh command on z/OS under this
  scenario:
  
  ADMU0026I: An error occurred during federation; rolling back
  to original configuration.
  ADMU0113E: Program exiting with error:
  com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException:
  com.ibm.websphere.management.filetransfer.client.TransferFailedE
  xception:
  Credentials are not authenticated:
  com.ibm.ws.security.auth.WSCredentialImpl@4d1e4d1e, resulting
  from:
  com.ibm.websphere.management.filetransfer.client.TransferFailedE
  xception:
  Credentials are not authenticated:
  com.ibm.ws.security.auth.WSCredentialImpl@4d1e4d1e
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was updated to allow the necessary credentials to be
  inherited by the filetransfer client during the addNode
  operation. With this fix in place, addNode will work on z/OS
  with conntype RMI, com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=none in
  sas.client.props, and no username or password provided on the
  command line.
  
  This fix does not affect the outcome of this scenario on
  non-z/OS platforms ?- on such platforms, when running addNode
  using conntype RMI and com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=none in
  sas.client.props, a username and password is required on the
  command line, as stated in the Information Center documentation.
  
  APAR PK90174 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.5 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
