Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: wsadmin CLI getIdMgrLDAPServer gives * * the bind password of the LDAP server * * in encrypted format. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** CLI used for getting information of configured LDAP server in VMM returns the bind password in encrypted format where it should return only asterisks.
Problem conclusion
CLI will now return the bind password in the form of ******. For those who need the old format of the bind password in CLI output they will have to set the generic JVM argument system property -DhideBindPassword=true. So behavior of the CLI will be following : -DhideBindPassword=false command returns the encoded bind password. -DhideBindPassword=true (default) - command returns ******** in place of the bind password by default. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.10.
