Enable Container Security in web.xml and recreate the war. In WebSphere console - Users and Groups create users and groups Wikiuser and Wikiadmin. Put jspwiki-custom.properties into WebSphere/AppServer-8.5/classes Deploy the war via console. In the war's Detail Properties - Security role to user/group mapping map Roles Authenticated and Admin to groups Wikiuser and Wikiadmin. The wiki runs fine with exception of JSPWIKI-396. Another problem is that log out does not work, afterwards you can simply login again by clicking log in without having to enter user/pass again, it only works by deleting the cookies.
