Problem:
WebSphere Admin Console only shows WAS_HOME directory when browsing WAR/EAR files using “Remote File system”
Resolution:
This change is due to following Security Bulletin from IBM:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/security-bulletin-information-disclosure-websphere-application-server-cve-2017-1743
To get access to all directories, please add custom properties “com.ibm.ws.management.fileservice.allAccess” and “com.ibm.ws.console.webserver.anypath” property to “true” on Deployment Manager and the Node Agents.
In the WAS admin console,
Go to System administration –> Deployment manager –> Java and Process Management –> Process definition –> Java Virtual Machine –> Custom properties
Click the New button and enter the following:
Name: com.ibm.ws.management.fileservice.allAccess
Value : true
Click the New button and enter the following:
Name: com.ibm.ws.console.webserver.anypath
Value : true
Click Apply, then Save your changes to the master configuration.
