JAASAuthData creation problem using AdminConfig.create

[avanish awasthi]

I am trying to create JAASAuthData using script, I am able to create data but password is not being set that I set manually in WAS then it works.
security = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:'+cell+'/Security:/')
AdminConfig.create('JAASAuthData',security,
[["alias", node+"/abc"],
["description", "abc001"],
["userId", "abc001"],
["password", "abc1"]])

Please let me know if anybody is having idea why its happening.I am giving password in JAASAuthData but it does not set password .
Thanks in advance

You can look at the WebSphere generated Jython script by checking "Log command assistance mode" under console preferences.

Use that script as the source script. Customize it to your needs with variables, properties etc.

Let me know if that doesnt work for you. I have created J2C Auth Userid/password using Jython. I can post something for JAASAuthData for you.

Please post that. Thanks

In Log only this thing is coming
Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure > JAAS - J2C authentication data > Node01/abc

So not getting how to set password.

See sample code below. I have used it several times in both 6.1 & 7.0 WAS Base and ND versions. It sets the passwords properly.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Name: 		createJ2CAuthData()
# Description: 	Creates J2C Authentication entry for the given 
#				combination of user and password.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
def createJ2CAuthData(strAlias, strUser, strPassword, strDescription):

	secLookupKey = "/Cell:" + cellName + "/Security:/"
	secInfo = AdminConfig.getid(secLookupKey)

	# sanity check
	if (secInfo == ""):
		print "Returning back as Security Information not found for [" + secLookupKey + "]."
		return
	#endIf
	
	j2cAttrs = []
	# Alias
	j2cAttrs.append(["alias", strAlias])
	# User ID   
	j2cAttrs.append(["userId", strUser])
	# Password
	j2cAttrs.append(["password", strPassword])
	# Description
	j2cAttrs.append(["description", strDescription])

	# create the j2c entry
	contauthdata = AdminConfig.create("JAASAuthData", secInfo, j2cAttrs) 
#endDef

I am doing in the same way...but it does not set password..

[Deepak Pant]

what version of websphere? I am assuming that you are issuing AdminConfig.save() after your script executes.

[avanish awasthi]

6.1 I am using....Yes At the end I am using AdminConfig.save() to save all configurations created.
