Disabling User Authentication for Operator views in Netcool Impact 7.1
Comment out the security constraint content in the web.xml file
at e.g (depending on your install)
/opt/IBM/tivoli/impact/wlp/usr/servers/ImpactUI/apps/ImpactUI.ear/opview.war/WEB-INF
</welcome-file-list>
<!--
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Impact Protected Area</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>impactAdminUser</role-name>
<role-name>impactFullAccessUser</role-name>
<role-name>impactOpViewUser</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint> -->
<login-config>
A restart is NOT required for the changes to take effect.
To test, paste the operator view index page URL into your browser
e.g https://X.XX.XXX.XX:16311/opview/index
This will bring up the index page for all of your operator views.
The user will not be asked for authentication.
