The file transfer service provides role-based authentication. You can enable
authentication in the file transfer service using scripting and the wsadmin tool.
Before you begin
Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See Starting the wsadmin
scripting client for more information.
Procedure
- Run the redeployFileTransfer.jacl script to help you redeploy the file transfer Web
application.
This wsadmin script is located in the
app_server_root/bin directory. Run the script from the
app_server_root/bin directory using
the following syntax:
wsadmin -conntype NONE -lang jacl -profile redeployFileTransfer.jacl -c
"fileTransferAuthenticationXxx cell_name node_name dmgr"
In
this example, the variables represent the following:
- Xxx is On or Off.
- cell_name is the name of your cell.
- node_name is the name of your node.
- dmgr is the server type. This script will work only on the deployment manager.
Use wsadmin.sh.
Use
wsadmin.
Use wsadmin or wsadmin.bat.
Review the
following examples on how to run the script with the different authentication options:
- To run the script with authentication, which uses the filetransfer.ear file, use a command
similar to the
following:
wsadmin -conntype NONE -lang jacl -profile redeployFileTransfer.jacl -c
"fileTransferAuthenticationOn managedCell managedCellNode dmgr"
- To run the script and file transfer service without authentication, use a command similar to the
following:
wsadmin -conntype NONE -lang jacl -profile redeployFileTransfer.jacl -c
"fileTransferAuthenticationOff managedCell managedCellNode dmgr"
In the previous examples, the following values apply:
- managedCell the names of the cell.
- managedCellNode is the names of your node.
- dmgr is the server type.
- If you receive an error related to the file transfer service, troubleshoot the problem by
reviewing the systemapps.xml file.
You might receive the following error if you attempt to set authentication to a state in which
it is already
configured:
Error: com.ibm.ws.scripting.ScriptingException: WASX7280E: An
application with name "filetransfer" does not exist.
This
error will be displayed, for example, when you try to set authentication to on when it is already on
or off when it is already off.
To determine the current state of the file transfer authentication,
see the systemapps.xml file in the
app_server_root/AppServer/profiles/
dmgr_profile/config/cells/
cell_name/nodes/
node_name directory:
What to do next
You must restart the server for the change to take affect.
