  ****************************************************************
  In a WebSphere Application Server installation, the
  monitoring console uses the wsogclient.jar file.  This file
  does not contain some of the classes that are shipped with
  WebSphere Application Server. The class path is not adjusted
  accordingly.  The WebSphere Application Server JAR files that
  contain the security classes are not found.
  

Problem conclusion

• The monitoring console cannot be used in WebSphere Application
  Server environments when security is enabled.
