Enabling and disabling Java 2 security using scripting

You can enable or disable Java™ 2 security with scripting and the wsadmin tool.

1. Use the setAdminActiveSecuritySettings command for the AdminTask object to enable or disable Java 2 security.
   1. Launch the wsadmin scripting tool using the Jython scripting language. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.
   2. Use the getActiveSecuritySettings command to display the current security settings, including custom properties for global security, as the following example demonstrates:
      • Using Jacl:

        $AdminTask getActiveSecuritySettings

      • Using Jython:

        AdminTask.getActiveSecuritySettings()

   3. Use the setAdminActiveSecuritySettings command to enable or disable Java 2 security.
      The following examples enable Java 2 security:

      • Using Jacl:

        $AdminTask setAdminActiveSecuritySettings {-enforceJava2Security true}

      • Using Jython:

        AdminTask.setAdminActiveSecuritySettings('-enforceJava2Security true')

      The following examples disable Java 2 security:

      • Using Jacl:

        $AdminTask setAdminActiveSecuritySettings {-enforceJava2Security false}

      • Using Jython:

        AdminTask.setAdminActiveSecuritySettings('-enforceJava2Security false')

   4. Save the configuration changes.
      Use the following command example to save your configuration changes:

      AdminConfig.save()

   5. Synchronize the node.
      Use the syncActiveNode or syncNode scripts in the AdminNodeManagement script library to propagate the configuration changes to node or nodes.

      • Use the syncActiveNodes script to propagate the changes to each node in the cell, as the following example demonstrates:

        AdminNodeManagement.syncActiveNodes()

      • Use the syncNode script to propagate the changes to a specific node, as the following example demonstrates:

        AdminNodeManagement.syncNode("myNode")

2. Use the AdminConfig object to enable Java 2 security.
   1. Start the wsadmin scripting tool.
   2. Identify the security configuration object and assign it to the security variable, as the following example demonstrates:

      • Using Jacl:

        set security [$AdminConfig list Security]

      • Using Jython:

        security = AdminConfig.list('Security')
        print security

        Example output:

        (cells/mycell|security.xml#Security_1)

   3. Modify the enforceJava2Security attribute to enable or disable Java 2 security, as the following examples demonstrates:

      • To enable Java 2 security:

        • Using Jacl:

          $AdminConfig modify $security {{enforceJava2Security true}}

        • Using Jython:

          AdminConfig.modify(security, [['enforceJava2Security', 'true']])

      • To disable Java 2 security:

        • Using Jacl:

          $AdminConfig modify $security {{enforceJava2Security false}}

        • Using Jython:

          AdminConfig.modify(security, [['enforceJava2Security', 'false']])

   4. Save the configuration changes.
      Use the following command example to save your configuration changes:

      AdminConfig.save()

   5. Synchronize the node.
      Use the syncActiveNode or syncNode scripts in the AdminNodeManagement script library to propagate the configuration changes to node or nodes.

      • Use the syncActiveNodes script to propagate the changes to each node in the cell, as the following example demonstrates:

        AdminNodeManagement.syncActiveNodes()

      • Use the syncNode script to propagate the changes to a specific node, as the following example demonstrates:

        AdminNodeManagement.syncNode("myNode")
