APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Beginning in 9.0.5.4 fix pack, the Qshell command line remains hidden after being prompted for a password for authentication when stopping an application server, connecting to wsadmin via SOAP, etc. After the password is entered and ENTER is pressed, the Qshell command line remains hidden instead of changing back to normal mode. This causes any characters to remain hidden on the command line and not visible when typing.
Local fix
Use the -username and -password options on the command line instead of having it prompt for a password or rollback to WAS fix pack to 9.0.5.3.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * * on IBM i. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The QSHELL command prompt and text * * stays * * hidden after prompting for WebSphere * * credentials. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Beginning in the 9.0.5.4 fix pack, the QSHELL command line remains hidden after being prompted for a password for authentication when stopping an application server, connecting to wsadmin via SOAP, etc. After the password is typed and ENTER is pressed, the QSHELL command line remains hidden instead of changing back to normal mode. This causes any characters to remain hidden on the command line until the QSHELL session is exited (F3). This issue only affects the user's current QSHELL session. Closing the affected QSHELL session and opening a new one causes QSHELL to behave normally again.
Problem conclusion
The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.20 and 9.0.5.9. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server': https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/715553
