Security role to user/group mapping does not save changes


I'm trying to edit the "Security role to user/group mapping" in WebSphere 8.0. I want to set the Role 'User' to be 'All authenticated in application realm' but there is no save button. So when I reload the page where you can edit this, it's the same as before. Am I doing something wrong?

Solution

  • This issue is very common if you deploy your application directly from Eclipse/RAD to WebSphere.

    In the Servers view, double click your WebSphere server and in Publishing settings uncheck the Minimize application files copied to the server option.

    Restart the server and reinstall application. The OK button will be there. :-)

    Here are some more details No confirmation when saving Shared Libraries within WebSphere Test Environment. Although it says about Shared Libraries and WAS v7, same applies to v8 and role mapping.
