Virtual member manager security
Virtual member manager security is enabled by default, however, WAS global security must also be enabled.
Because virtual member manager security is enabled by default, WAS global security must also be enabled to ensure that the client can authenticate successfully before using the virtual member manager API. If WAS global security is not enabled, the virtual member manager API generates an access exception for every request.
