Thanks of the quick reply..!!!

As instructed I have performed the activity, but no luck..:(
Below is the screenshot for your reference,

WASX7031I: For help, enter: "print Help.help()"

wsadmin>securityoff
<function securityoff at 0x2>
wsadmin>exit

Hi Sadanand,


The WAS instance should be running to execute the command. 
If yes, a restart of WAS is required for the change to take effect.

Hi Bharath,

Sadanand

Hi Sadanand,


IHS doesn't play any role in this scenario.
May be you can reach out to WAS support to identify why the command doesn't work.

Alternatively, you may disable it in security.xml file as suggested in the below technote:

Be sure to backup that file before editing.
