WebSphere Application Server local repository admin not able to login - websphere

WAS is configured to use an Active Directory to authenticate, but the default admin account was left on the local file repository. When the AD connection is working we are able to login to the admin console using the default admin account, but when AD is down we are not able to use the default admin account to login. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check this link Unable to authenticate when a repository is down. You didnt write which version you are running, but by default if one of the federated repos is down you will not be able to log in.
You can use updateIdMgrRealm wsadmin command to set the –allowOperationIfReposDown parameter to true. This will allow you to log in with the user from working repository.

SonarQube(Version 5.4) LDAP Integration plugin

I've installed the LDAP Integration plugin in SonarQube(Version 5.4) and restarted the server.
I didn't make any changes to config file.
When I try to login, a credential prompt pops up, here I enter the same credentials I use to login to server. But even after this the sonarqube console asks me for a username and a password, this is the sonarqube username and password not the windows one's.
Do I need to make any changes for SonaQube to use windows credentials? or is it just ldap?
Please let me know if I'm missing something here.

Cant access remote app after domain password reset

I have a domain user that uses a remote desktop app. I recently reset his password via AD and although he can log in to his account he cant authenticate against the remote app anymore.
Ive checked the Remote app manager and cant see any settings for individual passwords there (dont think there is one?)
Hes setup as a remote desktop user and accesses the app through an .rdp file on his desktop..Any suggestions as to what this may be?
thanks,
I got the user to logout, reset their password and untick the 'change at next logon' requirement and log back in. This resolved their issue.

Trouble creating admin account in Jenkins for Windows

Hello I just enabled Legacy mode authorization in Jenkins and it seems that it has now locked me out of all the administrative privileges.
I need to create an admin account so that I can continue with Jenkins configuration. I have direct access to the server and have tried running this line from command line:
java -jar jenkins.war --argumentsRealm.passwd.jenkins=swordfish --argumentsRealm.roles.jenkins=admin Jenkins starts but I am unable to access it from the web when starting from command line.
I've also tried starting Jenkins through services.msc, which is how I typically start it, and passing it the parameters --argumentsRealm.passwd.jenkins=swordfish --argumentsRealm.roles.jenkins=admin. Jenkins starts and I am able to access it through the web, but unable to log in with the username.
Any ideas how get admin access back?
I deleted the entries related to security and authentication in the config.xml, restarted, and I am able to access again. I was able to add myself as an admin using matrix based security. Still not sure how to do it with legacy tho.
Recently, I had the same problem. I would try to login to jenkins (hosted on glassfish), and would encounter the same thing. Basically getting a glassfish error that the application was not available. If I cleared all temporary internet files from browser, browse to jenkins home page, I would be presented with the Jenkins login, and when I provided the correct userID and password, WHAMMO! Back to application not available.... This too was using matrix-based administration.
To fix:
Locate the config.xml of the userID that is experiencing problems, under "users" directory.
Deleted the "apiToken" tag under "jenkins.security.ApiTokenProperty" tag.
Bounced glassfish and was able to login again.

Why is my TeamCity Admin user no longer an Admin user after I switch over to NTLM authentication?

Just installed teamcity 6.5.6 after uninstalling 6.5.4 after trying to implement a svn 1.7 plugin that seemed to have buggered up my TC configurations.
Trying to revert back to working times so I did a fresh install of the latest release.
I created my initial admin user with the same credential I have for the admin user on the server machine that is running TC.
Once I change the config to NTLM auth, I login as the same user, and that user no longer has admin privileges. Any ideas why?
The documentation states that:
Please note that each authentication type maintains own list for users. This means that on switching from one authentication to another you start with no users (and no administrator) and will be prompted for administrator account on first TeamCity start after the authentication change. This also means that all the existing users will need to create their accounts and re-enter their settings anew.
So when you switched to NLTM authentication you will have be prompted to specify the admin user again.

Automatically logging into a website from the desktop

If we have a link on a users desktop to a website, is there any way to automatically log them into that website using their windows username and password?
I think you can do it using the Active Directory. Maybe this article can help you.
This: Retrieve UserName by Searching in Active Directory
The windows login system and the website have totally different mechanisms. You're windows password is stored locally on your machine however the website password is stored remotely on a server. hence it does not make sense to login on a website with your local password automatically.
You can do this only for local Intranets hosted on the current domain. If this is what your're after you need to set the authentication mode in the config file.
