Updating Windows Shortcuts for Security Authorization

You can update the WebSphere stop command on the Windows Start menu so that it still functions when security is enabled. To update the command, you need to add a user name and password to the shortcut’s properties. You do not need to make these changes for the WebSphere start command.

  1. Click the Start button, point to All Programs/IBM WebSphere/IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.5/Profiles/AppSrv01.

  2. Right-click Stop the server, and select Properties.

    The Properties dialog box appears.

  3. Add the following command to the end of the string in the Target text box, replacing the username and pw strings with the correct user name and password for starting WebSphere: 

    -username username -password pw

    Note: Be sure to leave a space between the existing string and the additional commands added above.

  4. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
