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.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
