hi @shareauto - how did you start the image? also, did you do a docker pull ibmcom/websphere-traditional to get the latest image?

[shareauto]

Yes I did start the image, and I can able to get the WAS admin console but I cannot login as wsadmin because I dont know the password. Yes I did docker pull ibmcom/websphere-traditional to get latest image.

I used the following command to start the docker image

docker run --name test -h test -v $(pwd)/PASSWORD:/tmp/PASSWORD -p 9043:9043 -p 9443:9443 -d ibmcom/websphere-traditional:latest /bin/bash9043 -p 9443:9443 -d ibmcom/websphere-traditional:latest /bin/

This is due to your mount being somehow incorrect. /tmp/PASSWORD file doesn't exist at the the time docker image starts (generated by start_server), so if you trying to mount new password make sure the $(pwd)/PASSWORD is resolved to correct file. If you trying to grab the password from the image you will need to do to through docker exec command instead

Thank you guys, the PASSWORD file on my local doesn't exist while starting the image. That's why it failed. Now It's working fine. Thank you once again.
