Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Username and password information is    *
*                      not passed in on the command line, so   *
*                      when invoking retrieve signers it       *
*                      prompts for this information and        *
*                      hangs if security is enabled.           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When retrieve signers is invoked without username and password
information it will prompt the user if it is required.  If
this happens the migration will pause either until this
information is input or a timeout occurs. The WASPostUpgrade
process only used username and password information when
invoking retrieve signers when they are provided on the command
line.

Problem conclusion

Since this information is already known at this point in the
migration, the extracted username and password can be used in
the case that they are not provided on the command line.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.1.  Please refer to the
