WebSphere Application Server V7.0: Concepts ... - IBM Redbooks

9.3.1 Integrated Solutions Console
The Integrated Solutions Console connects to a running stand-alone server or, in
a distributed environment, to a deployment manager. In WebSphere Application
Server V7.0, it also connects to an administrative agent and a job manager.
Non-secure administration access
If administrative security is not enabled, the Integrated Solutions Console is
accessed with a Web browser through the following URL:
http://:/ibm/console/unsecureLogon.jsp
You can gain access to the console without entering a user name. If you do enter
a name, it is not validated and is used exclusively for logging purposes and to
enable the system to recover the session if it is lost while performing
administrative tasks.
Secure administration access
If administrative security is enabled, the Integrated Solutions Console is
accessed with a Web browser through the following URL (note the use of https://
versus http://):
https://:/ibm/console/Logon.jsp
You must enter an authorized user ID and password to log in. The actions that
you can perform within the console are determined by your role assignment.
9.3.2 WebSphere scripting client (wsadmin)
The WebSphere scripting client (wsadmin) provides the ability to execute scripts.
You can use the wsadmin tool to manage a WebSphere Application Server V7.0
installation and configuration. This tool uses the Bean Scripting Framework
(BSF), which supports a variety of scripting languages to configure and control
your WebSphere Application Server installation and configuration.
The wsadmin launcher makes Java objects available through language-specific
interfaces. Scripts use these objects for application management, configuration,
operational control, and for communication with Manageable Beans (MBeans)
running in WebSphere server processes.
With the release of WebSphere Application Server V7.0, the stabilized process
for the Java Application Control Language (Jacl) syntax associated with wsadmin
has been announced. This means that Jacl syntax for wsadmin will continue to
remain in the product and there is no plan to deprecate or remove this capability
in a subsequent release of the product. But future investment will be focused on
Jython.
