Abstract
Not too long ago, someone asked me how difficult it would be to generate a security configuration report, similar to what is available from the WebSphere administration console. This chapter explores the creation of such an application to display the security report in a user-friendly way, all the while using the techniques that you’ve learned so far. This will allow the users to interact with the information in a way that provides a better understanding of the security-related configuration information for a WebSphere Application Server.

Notes
- 1.
The -lang jython command-line option is needed only if you haven’t changed the default scripting language in the appropriat wsadmin.properties file. The -conntype none option tells wsadmin to execute in local mode, so no connection is attempted to a possibly inactive application server. It is important to remember that the command should appear on a single line. The backslash\isn’t actually part of the command and should not be entered.

In fact, this information is how the reportSectionSize.py script processes the data to determine the number and sizes of the report sections.
