By default, the workplace properties file (wkplc.properties) is located at the following directory on a Linux system.
/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/<your profile>/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties
The WasUserid directive in the wkplc.properties file is used to define the user ID that will be used when the ConfigEngine.sh script attempts to authenticate.
AVOID TROUBLE
When the WasUserid references a LDAP Person Account, you will probably need to ensure the value begins with cn= or uid=
WasUserid=john.doe
The soap.client.props file . . .
/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/<your profile>/properties/soap.client.props
Should contain the same user ID.
com.ibm.SOAP.authenticationTarget=BasicAuth
com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=john.doe
com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword={xor}CmcYbTc1aSVvJy5tEmc
