I am trying to start the webshell on the AIX client and have not been able to
find any documentation on how to do it. I tried to follow the basic steps that
are provided with the Windows client but have not been successful.

From ROOT

1. cd /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/wsstuff
2. adsmpswd p password /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/wsstuff
3. mkwspswd p username password a /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/wsstuff
4. webshell
I then see the following:
Listening on port: 2121
URL is: http://ADSMSRV1:2121/webshell

When I enter this URL from my browser I do get a screen asking for user name and
password but it results in "authorization failed". The following error is also
displayed on root where webshell is running:

Error 2 opening password file

I tried changing the permissions on the files generated by adsmpswd and mkwpswd
to allow rwx by all but I still get the same result.

Instead of entering webshell I have also tried webstart with the same results:
# webstart
starting webshell from /usr/bin
Listening on port: 2121
URL is: http://ADSMSRV1:2121/webshell
Error 2 opening password file

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
