I have a follow-up question to this issue: is it possible to finalize the AdminTask.createAuthDataEntry task in one wsadmin script?
I need to invoke this task so that WAS can establish a connection to a datasource that I have defined in the same script.
Defining an auth entry from the web console does not require a restart. Typically I would not expect that a restart would be required for authentication changes.
I have tried to use the task AdminControl.invoke(AdminControl.queryNames('WebSphere:*,type=Server,node=%s,process=%s' % ('node', 'server')), 'restart') inside the script, but this stops the instance without booting it up again. Also, I cannot verify the datasource connection within the same script because of these limitations.
Creating or modifying authentication data entries from wsadmin requires a server restart. We have an RFE to allow wsadmin to make dynamic updates to them without a server restart which you can vote for. In order to stop and start your server using wsadmin, it's probably easiest for the OS-level (bat or sh) script that invokes wsadmin to call two scripts.
