Disabling WebSphere administrative security

Earlier I used to go to 
WAS_INSTALL_DIR/profiles/PROFILE_NAME/config/cells/CELLNAME/
and vi the security.xml , search for first string enabled and make enabled="false"
Now, there is no need to edit the security.xml to disable security .

You can just follow the below procedure.
cd WAS_INSTALL_DIR/profiles/PROFILE_NAME/bin/

If you have multiple profiles , then its necessary to run wsadmin.sh from the profile where you want to disable the security.

./wsadmin.sh -conntype NONE
wsadmin> securityoff 
wsadmin>  exit 
Restart the servers.
