To Disable the Default Enterprise Server Security Configuration

This procedure requires an interactive session on the system where you can disable the default Enterprise Server security configuration, set up with the Enterprise Server environment. On Windows, you will need permission to stop and start services. On UNIX, you will need permission to alter files such as commonwebadmin.json in the product configuration area.
Beginning with release 10.0, Enterprise Developer and Enterprise Server are installed with security enabled, using a basic default security configuration. If you want to use a different security configuration, or want to disable security entirely, follow this procedure to disable the default security configuration.
Note: Micro Focus does not recommend running Enterprise Developer without security enabled. See Why does Enterprise Server have a default security configuration? for more information.
  1. Run the command DisableESDefaultSecurity.cmd. You will see a series of messages as the script disables default security.
  2. Restart any running enterprise server region to have them pick up the configuration changes. Regions will no longer require credentials for starting/stopping and other actions.
